I work mostly in digital photography and design. Photography has been my go-to creative visual outlet for years. I generally approach it spontaneously and outdoors, in and around nature. I typically start from a place of emotion, mood, and energy to inform the medium and subject material. And much of my work is as subconscious as it is intentional. As with my professional design work, I begin with rapid ideation, generating as many ideas as possible through divergence. In my design thinking, “diverge” is the phase where I generate various ideas, exploring various possibilities without judgment. “Converge” is narrowing down those ideas, critically evaluating them, and focusing on a specific theme, concept, and direction. Many explorations focus on juxtaposition, motion, tension, time, mood, and nostalgia. I enjoy exploring the intersection of nature and artificial subject matter, frequently railways, architecture, and other fabricated/built environments. As with client work and outcomes, my creative outlet pays dividends for my health and well-being. It allows me to explore my creative ambitions and recharge for future work engagements, bringing fresh perspectives.
