In my fifth grade english class, my teacher introduced the new rule of letting us draw in our binders at any time. Even though the intention was probably just to get us all to sit still and stop walking around during her lessons, I loved the opportunity to draw stormtroopers and recreate skateboard graphics. Pages filled my binder and then proudly filled my bedroom walls. After my parents saw my level of talent, they said I should try something else.

My career has spanned across portrait photography for authors, running cameras for a few documentaries, and most recently, leading talented designers to create websites for companies big and small. Along the way, I’ve picked up a few awards, spoke at a few conferences, and been in a couple magazine features.

Now, I love building websites for small, local businesses. My skillset fixes a lot of problems early companies have, and my background in SEO helps them have a very successful first few years with the ever-changing tech landscape.

In my free time, I have a crippling addiction to running ultramarathons and freediving.
