Self-timer on the streets of Palm Desert with my human backpack. I carried him for literal hundreds of miles in those early years. I loved it. He’d sing and hum into my back to the cadence of my steps. My son.

I instructed him to close his eyes and send the world peaceful feelings. Sweet guy.

I am interested in how I can use enlivened imagery and storytelling through digital mediums to to create visceral responses to shift real-world systems.

Hand-woven from 95 single use plastic bags in the heart of New York City by ANYBAG. I serve as Director of Strategic Partnerships, co-creating capsule collections with household names as activations towards their longer-term ecological impact goals.

I teach at Parsons The New School for Design. My aim is to equip designers and industry leaders with literacy and action items to put Sustainability into practice within their operations.

Every so often, I make a vat of indigo to over-dye beloved things that have stains or need new life. These iridescent wings fired my attention in the cold January air. The insect’s physical glory and somber stillness juxtaposed against against the stains of my own personal metamorphosis was a prayerful moment.

Shot in the FABSCRAP HQ in Brooklyn Navy Yards, this image shows the black trash bags in their lifecycle as fabrics storage receptacles. Volunteers sort the contents in three hour shifts in exchange for five pounds of fabrics of their choosing, and thirty-precent off of FABSCRAP’s community-minded prices. The black trash bags are reused until they rip or tear. ANYBAG re:imagines them into the Special Edition N!GHTs ANYBAG, a token of circular futures. These durable, artisanal goods serve as a reminder of the systems they come from, a tangible symbol that there are people actively building for more live-able futures. ANYBAG is backed by a Lifetime Guarantee. Creative Directed and shot by me.
