“Art isn’t supposed to be pretty. It’s supposed to make you feel something.” That’s something I always strive for in my work - visually or written. I want to bring your ideas to life, however unconventional they are. Blurry or crisp images, steady or hand held videos, messy poetry or organized prose- whatever you want, I will deliver. Creating is what brings me joy, and if you would like to embark on this adventure, tag along. :)
