Biography

I began my creative journey on YouTube in 2008 — just a small camera balanced on a stack of books, recording parody songs and sketches from my room. What started as curiosity soon evolved into storytelling. I documented skateboard adventures before the word vlog even existed, drawn to the raw, human rhythm of everyday life.

 

​

That passion for narrative eventually led me into the world of cosplay conventions, where I produced cinematic montages that blurred the line between internet videos and film. I wanted every frame to feel alive — not just content, but a story worth remembering.

 

 

Today, my work bridges nearly two decades of visual narratives with the refined elegance of pageantry. I don’t just take photos; I sculpt emotion through light and stillness. My style — a chiaroscuro of truth and presence — reveals the quiet power in moments the world would overlook.

The memories we save today will find value tomorrow.
