About Me

As a fine artist rooted in Detroit, my creative journey is fueled by a restless curiosity and an eye for the extraordinary. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography in 2019, I set out to explore the world beyond my city—often with little more than a backpack and my camera. My recent journeys introduced me to the vibrant people of Ecuador, the sun-drenched beaches of Thailand, and the labyrinthine medinas of Morocco. These experiences have expanded my artistic focus from conceptual portraiture to capturing the spirit of travel and street life. I am endlessly inspired by unconventional ways of living, the richness of diverse experiences, and the alternative perspectives that travel brings to my work.
