Built between bartending shifts and late night studio sessions, my work is proof that creativity doesn’t wait for permission. Zero art degree. No agency hand-holding. Just a self taught visionary force.
Since 2020, I’ve carved out a bold presence in Chicago’s music, media, and fashion scene, capturing the essence of artists through cutting-edge creative direction, production, and photography. Sure, photography is my medium, but what drives me is hearing an idea and building it out until it feels larger than life.
