About

I became interested in design during my teenage years, when my band completed our first demo tape on a four track. Reasoning that Sgt. Pepper was recorded on a four track, we naively thought that we should sell thousands. I had been doing the design work for our flyers and album covers and being that I was the only one with a computer, I was put in charge of the website.

Fast forward about seven years, a couple of stints at Microsoft, a small business and countless odd jobs designing, I had come to realize that I was not content with what I was doing.

After two seven month trips to India and Nepal, I came to realize that my desire was to work over in Asia educating and empowering youth about a new world that is emerging through photography, film and writing. Further, I want to raise support and finances to fund small humanitarian projects in North India, Nepal, and Pakistan.

Currently I am pursuing a degree in Asian Studies from the University of Washington. I bought a condo in the Central District of Seattle, spending my days studying Chinese, playing music and working on building a dark room and screen-printing studio.
