By day I work as a brand designer, and I started taking photos as a way to collect visual inspiration for my design work. But somewhere along the way, photography became more than a reference tool. It's a meditation, a way for me to slow down and actually pay attention. In a world that moves faster than ever, picking up a camera forces me to stop, look, and really see.

That practice has taken me further than I expected. My work has been exhibited in Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, and Paris, and recognized by the Minimalist Photography Awards.
