I picked up a camera over 10 years ago because of three people: my brother Jason, my cousin David, and my dad. When I started, I had no idea how much I’d fall in love with creating — or how much people would connect with what I made. Becoming a storyteller has filled my cup in ways I didn’t expect, and I’ve spent the last decade chasing that feeling: getting better, growing my eye, and always trying to make people feel something.

What started as a dream has turned into a decade-long journey, and every year I’ve added something new to my creative world. With the addition of Palette Radio and Palette Magazine, I get to tell even more stories — stories about color, emotion, creativity, and the artists walking their own paths. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to create work that inspires other creatives to start, grow, and believe in the impact they’re capable of. You never know who needs the story you’re about to tell.
