My interests lie in destroying the line between should and should-not; embracing life's mundanity and surprise; using my body to create visual representations of life; and creating work that I'm sure I've never seen anywhere else. In addition to my own work, I aim to bring together the unlikely pairs, create new life from nothing, connect with people across the globe, and assist in bringing great work to life.

This world is full of so much. We are full of even more. Our stories deserve to be shared, so let's do exactly that: Share them. There is always someone who needs to hear exactly what you have to say.
