We found a couple of cute spots at the OC Mix in Costa Mesa for our casual fashion photoshoot.

This election definitely isn't the worst thing that's ever happened to you, and you can't let it destroy you, but rather motivate you to work harder for what you believe in. But more importantly, educate yourself. There's always more than you know.

Vellum Furniture Competition

I've never been so proud of an architecture project of mine. A hand-crafted project requires so much time, energy, and passion. This Copper Pipe Chair was truly a labor of love.

Double Exposed

I decided to shoot portraits, and incorporate nature and other settings as stylistic compositions that fill in the silhouettes. I wanted the curve of the hand and faces to be appear as a natural and inherent frame.
