About
Community based photography through a queer lens.
A photo is more than clicking a button.
The person behind the lens matters.
​
The face of aged anxiety. Gender chimera. The intersection of best practices and creative box breaking. Raw and tender human connection is my bread and butter. As a trans content creator (they/them), I've spent my career photographing diverse populations. Punks, artists, and crafters give my life meaning. My work is crisp and community-based with growing nods to street photography.
I value candor over inauthentic performance, and focus on bold representation. In branding, I know how to make the new feel familiar while interjecting just enough rough edge moments to make the most important features memorable.
​
I started working professionally as a photographer in 2015 and hit the ground running. In tandem with finishing my Masters in Digital Marketing and Analytics, I work full time as a web strategist and have a healthy serving of digital branding freelance on the side.
