Who I am
Creator
Creativity leads almost every aspect of my life. In addition to creating designs, videos and graphics, I am a musician, artist, and maker. I seek to indulge every creative impulse I have, no matter what it is.
Adventurer
The outdoors are a huge inspiration to me. Whether it’s rock climbing, snowboarding, hiking or mountain biking, I retreat to the mountains to recharge and to reconnect with myself.
Maker
I recently took up the hobby of woodworking. It’s been a fantastic outlet for my creative energy, and it’s been extremely fun to learn new techniques for making things!
