MY CREATIVE PROCESS:

My creative process consists of a lot of thinking. I like to do a lot of conceptualizing for the shoots that I am involved in. I like to sketch out the idea and write down the ideas so it can help visualize and execute said idea.

OUTSIDE OF WORK:

I immerse myself in the present when I am not working. So I like to go outside and/or go hang out with my friends and family. I immerse myself in other forms of art like videos, drawing, and designing.

BORN AND RAISED:

I grew up in Dallas. Being raised in the city allowed me to have a diverse friend group. I got to see and learn about their cultures and help share a little of mine.

PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED TO KNOW:

I can play the violin and I was in a country western dance group in high school.

THREE ON MY BUCKET LIST:

To go overseas and live in Europe for a bit, leave a legacy for my family by creating a body of work that outlives me, and design shoes.

ARTISTS WHO INSPIRE ME:

Kanye West, Pharrell, Nigo, Thom Browne, Karl Lagerfeld, Tremaine Emory, Tinker Hatfield, Takashi Murakami.
