Born in

Denver, Colorado, I spent most of my life in New Orleans, Louisiana. Growing up in New Orleans exposed me to various people with their own backgrounds and perspectives. This environment subtly shaped how I interact with others, both new and familiar, and deepened my appreciation for those whose experiences differ from my own. I found that I could learn from their stories and integrate their insights into my lifestyle.
Forward to the summer of 2024, I decided to create an online portfolio—an archive showcasing my work through the lens of the people I’ve encountered. This portfolio is a representation to those who have inspired me and whose self-expression has become an integral part of my art and photography. It highlights the significant individuals I've met, whether our interactions were brief or lasting, and reflects the pieces of their influence on my creative journey.
