EXPloRe My OtHeR TItLEs
Photographer
My journey as a photographer started when I studied forensic science and technology. What started as documentation and tracing bullet trajectories, transformed into a newfound passion in storytelling through a lens. Over time, I began shaping scenes, experimenting with different mediums and development techniques to create bold, vivid imagery that speaks for itself.
Vinyl Collector
I started collecting vinyl for the nostalgia and sound quality. Some albums and artists just feel right on physical media. Hunting for that personal grail or digging through crates at different shops is one of my favorite ways to unwind. Having a tangible format of your favorite album will always be better than a digital download.
Gamer
I turn to gaming for various reasons. I play everything from RPGS/MMOS and battle royales for connecting with friends, co-op based games that allow for chaotic fun, and casual games that fuel my creativity. Whether it's exploring worlds or strategizing with friends, gaming is one of my favorite ways to recharge.
Movie Lover
When I’m not gaming, collecting vinyl, or photographing, you'll find me at the movie theater. Nicole Kidman was right, we come for the “magic.” Some of my favorites are Everything Everywhere All at Once, Baby Driver, Back to the Future, Scream, and any classic Disney animated film. Honestly, quoting movies feels like a second language.
