In My Own Words
I am a photographer, art director, and designer based in Portland Oregon and founder of Ex Litore. With over 10 years experience in a number of different industries, I bring to the table a unique perspective that walks a line between dramatic and understated. The natural world is a common theme in my work with images evoking a spontaneous feel with narrative elements.
In May 2022, I released Titan Magazine to contribute to the preservation of the print medium, to publish diversely, equitably, promote global connectivity, inspire, and educate.
In April 2024, I founded Ex Litore, a full-service photography and video production studio that helps businesses of all sizes create compelling visual content that will help them achieve their marketing goals. Ex Litore offers a wide range of services, including branding, photography, video, and print.
