Skills
Interests
I enjoy hiking with friends, often exploring various national and international mountain landscapes. Nature serves as both an escape and a source of inspiration for my creativity, finding it’s way into nearly all of my photography work.
I have a secondary interest in architecture, I’m fascinated by how materials and design forms create unique styles around the world.
Creativity has been a passion of mine since childhood and remains a daily pursuit. It provides me with a sense of purpose, and I often feel incomplete without engaging in creative endeavors. This drives my strong work ethic, pushing me to persevere until I am satisfied with what I’ve accomplished.
Collecting and listening to vinyl records is another passion of mine, as music plays an essential role in my daily life. I appreciate vinyl’s authentic sound and tactile experience, which gives me a more meaningful connection with my music. This passion has inspired me to design and build my own personal Hi-Fi stand, further merging my love for music and design.
