I grew up in the artistic city of Austin, Texas which has shaped who I am as a deaf visual storyteller and designer. It is my passion to educate the world about how any disability can be a gift, to share people’s stories, and build connections. It is important to me that I capture a strong essence of the ‘in the moment’ within the frame. I strive to influence and encourage dialogues and emotions from my work. I enjoy pushing myself and trying new things. I absolutely love observing, chasing, and challenging light. I am an authentic and determined individual who wants to continue traveling and creating short documentaries and photo stories to share and provide a different perspective in life. My ideas and projects are always evolving, and I am always embracing my journey.
