Sometimes the best way to see where you’re going is to look back at where you’ve been. Recently, I had the chance to do just that. I created a short film presentation called Once Upon an Art Life: A Creative Life in Progress.  It’s the story of my creative journey so far, told in a fairytale style. This film was originally made for the Creative Collective at Scholastic, as part of their Member Spotlight series. In creating it, I found myself retracing the threads of both my p

A reflection on the quiet part of the creative process.

90s web nostalgia is virtually real ;) I’ve been time-traveling on a special project and having way too much fun looking at old websites I designed—man, I miss the internet of the 90s. In many ways, the early web of the mid-90s was like today’s dark web— raw, decentralized, chaotic, and free. Before the rise of mega-platforms like Facebook, Google, and Amazon, the web felt like a digital overgrown wild forest.    🌌 Personal websites were handcrafted temples — GeoCities, Ang

Hello! 👋 this is just an informal post of mostly pictures from my daily life that made me smile or simply just caught my attention so I documented it. I believe it is important now more than ever to keep the joy in our hearts and nurture / feed it. So getting to make a life crumb post of things I love, a collection of moments that were somehow magical to me is a good place to practice that.

5 ways to cope in dark times

Some days you might feel lost, off, or uncertain about the world—it can feel heavy. When that happens, it’s important for me to pause and reflect on the things that fill my heart with joy, bring peace to my mind, and act as beacons for my soul to steady and ground me. This is a reminder to embrace the little joys in life, the rituals, and the spaces that nurture your spirit. As we come to the end of the year I always find myself reflecting and clearing paths for the new year
