More on the human which is me…

I may have had a camera in my hand since I was 5 years old, but I live a very artistic, full and chaotic life outside of photography. My day job as a Multidisciplinary Designer at an Architectural Firm not only helps me pay the bills but keeps my feet light and my eyes sharp. Day to day, I juggle different design concepts from interior design to drafting to graphic design. I have to adjust my brain processing on the flip of a switch. Before my design life, I spent three years in the film industry working in the Art Department, Set Decoration, Scenic and Production. In my spare time, I still work on short films and try to keep in touch with the community. My participation has whittle down to short films and day-playing on larger productions. Prior to film, I worked as a photo-scanner and editor where I was able to witness beautiful memories of the everyday person on film and in print and digitize them into permanence. And before all that? Much, much more. I majored in Art and minored in English in undergrad. I went back to school to get a Graduate Certificate in Video Production. I worked at a dance store squeezing the largest and oldest bunions I’ve ever seen into narrow dance shoes. I’ve dressed people working at Nordstrom and specialized in fitting jeans and bras. I’ve seen so many parts of human beings —too many parts. I’ve lived and seen so much of the human experience but there’s so much more life to live.

In the mean time, my home life is filled with a hoard of plants that I carefully and kindly maintain. They are the loves of my life and will remain so until I move to an apartment that allows pets (then I will simply have more loves of my life). Home time means early mornings with a cup of tea, though sometimes it means tossing myself out of bed at 4:50am to throw myself into the gym. Should I break down my daily schedule so anyone who reads this can stalk me?

Okay! Gym, work, ballet, work, sleep, yoga, work, work, work, sleep, ballet, work, work, work, pilates, work. Looking forward to seeing you along my daily work route.

Since I am crafting this borderline dating profile of a description, I do like long walks on the beach but also short runs filled with bursts of energy along said beach with my parents’ new puppy. I love audiobooks. My audiobook library is slowly filling up with self-help books and new ways to learn. My soul hungers to better itself daily, so that’s what I do. I yoga. I play. I make myself laugh. I make the weirdest expressions in the many, many mirrors in my apartment until I’m tired of staring or I get a chuckle out of myself. I fill the space with puzzles, personal art and old pieces of furniture that like to tell stories.

This is who I am. Come find out more.
