About
Photographer/Graphic Designer always looking to take on a bit more work. I've got more than 10 years of experience in both fields, and while I've had my hands in a few industries throughout the years, I've always stayed involved with photography and design in one way or another. While it hasn't been the most direct path for a graphic designer, I wouldn't change a thing.
