Imagine this: You’re in Manhattan for the first time on your own—walking through Essex Street, silent, just taking it in. The architecture, the textures, the noise, the rhythm—it’s all completely different from the slower pace of my childhood in Queens. That feeling of being creatively overwhelmed happened again and again: in the Garment District, in Court Square, in the Financial District.

Every place became a spark. I wanted to capture the aesthetic—the scale, the colors, even the materials beneath my feet. But photography alone wasn’t enough. Neither was videography. Nor painting. I started realizing that my creative voice wasn’t in one tool, but in the interplay between them.

Today, I work as a multidisciplinary visual artist, blending design, motion, photography, and narrative to build campaigns, tell stories, and rethink how we connect with ideas. I’m here to keep pushing the boundaries—not just of media, but of the language we use to shape the world around us.
