I have been working in the visual arts professionally for over a decade. My experience includes gallery and exhibition preparation, art handling and logistics, scenic carpentry, documentation as a filmmaker and photographer, branding and identity, graphic design and illustration, web development and implementation, spherical and 360 image acquisition for CGI modeling, aerial and architectural photography, traditional tabletop, portrait, and interior photography. 

I have been an educator, fabricator, computer tech, and grip. I have been a collaborative partner and diligent worker for universities, theater companies, custom fabrication shops, commercial photography houses, and individuals crafting their living as independent contractors, photographers, and artists. I believe creative labor is the only path towards self-actualization. By a project, by a thought, by an individual.
