I’m a Bay-Area based queer artist, writer, and therapist (they/them, he/him) who's spent my career engaged in supporting clients of all backgrounds in personal growth, self-expression, and am dedicated to expanding people's viewpoints of transgender and queer viewpoints and perspectives.
My education includes studies in anthropology, psychology, and documentary photography - I draw from this along with life experience to inform ongoing projects including 'Here', combining personal statements and portraiture of transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming folk, and Queer Collections, a photography and interview series in collaboration with writer Zoe Rosenblum. I've been honored to document many weddings, commitment ceremonies, and take a selective number of bookings each year in this area.
In addition to photography I have published several graphic novels, and currently work in ceramics, miniatures, and other mixed media continuing my work around personal identity, self-exploration, and queering art.
Please contact me if you're interested in participating in my ongoing projects or wish to discuss other collaborations
I offer no-cost support and mentorship to student and emerging photographers depending on my availability, priority given to queer/trans identified BIPOC, trans, non-binary individuals.
