Currently:

I’m on a tear right now. The post-hurricane life has me looking for answers in uncommon places. While I am continuing with developing my life and eye for art through drawing and photography, I am also taking a lot of time to redevelop the “hard” skills and earn certificates in new areas.

I’ve niched down too long. I’m working towards an era of “Generalism.”

As of late, this means spending time learning platforms like Salesforce, Meta, and Google Search and Analytics to develop the data-driven understanding of creative campaigns. Not just a pretty picture, but the impact of the pretty picture.

Of course, I still do a ton of naps, reading, and contemplation (with a cup of coffee always in hand).

While OutWord has done wonders for me over the past few years, I feel like I have hit a lot more friction than usual. The business is still pulling in revenue, but I’m not terribly excited about what I’m doing. Back to the drawing board so I’m no longer bored!

Currently building out this site to serve more as a digital garden/ body of work than a “blog” or “portfolio.”

Still living in Asheville, North Carolina. The region is recovering from Hurricane Helene.

Jumping in on life drawing sessions a few times a week when I can. It’s not that I want to get “better” at it, I just want to feel like I can relax into it and be ok with whatever I end up creating.
