I have had a camera in my hand since the first 35mm my parents gifted me at 9 years old. In my late teens, I began modeling and learned more about how to create photographs, not just take them. In my twenties, I attended the San Francisco Art Institute, initially focusing on photo and cinematography. I graduated with a BFA in Design & Technology, bringing together my passions for art, design, photography, filmmaking, and technology. While still in school, I started working as a photo assistant and videographer for one of the world's most recognized brands and then moved on to taking many portraits of tech's most brilliant people as a sought-out photographer.
