Creative Multi-Hyphenate \ Web Dev \ Photographer \ Design Enthusiast

Portland-based creative multi-hyphenate with 18 years in web development & graphic design, and a decade of professional photography experience (23 years total behind the camera).

By day: Building websites and brands that blend modern functionality with nostalgic design sensibilities. Proud projects include Melinda Cea's coaching site and Gallows Humor Pictures—a love letter to Web 1.0 complete with GIFs and 8-bit graphics.

By night: Capturing the artistry of cosplayers in my professional photography work, with a special passion for darker, gothic characters. Big geek at heart who believes the best photography happens when creativity meets fandom.

Currently: Navigating the beautiful chaos of ADHD-fueled interests, figuring out what's next, and keeping the creative fires burning at Roaming Embers—a classic stream-of-consciousness blog where anything goes.

Halloween enthusiast. The countdown is real. 🎃
