Mentoring
For Creatives
Over the past two decades I’ve worked across several areas of the creative industry including photography, video production, filmmaking, music, and the web design space. Along the way I’ve also spent a great deal of time supporting other creatives who were trying to find their footing, grow their businesses, or navigate the realities of building a life in the creative world.
Creative careers rarely follow a predictable path, and there isn’t a single formula that works for everyone. Because of that, I don’t approach mentorship as a rigid program or a packaged course. The goal is simply to connect, talk through the challenges you’re facing, and offer guidance based on my own experiences across multiple creative industries.
There are two ways to learn with me...

One-On-One Creative Mentorship
Random Thoughts of a Creative is a Substack where I share reflections on creativity, business, lifestyle design, and the realities of building a life in the creative world. It’s a space for thoughtful observations drawn from real experiences in the creative industry, sometimes serious, sometimes sarcastic, but always honest.
Random Thoughts of a Creative
I am driven by the belief that our environments shape our lives—our happiness, creativity, and spiritual connection. As a photographer and filmmaker, my art is dedicated to more than just capturing moments; it's about invoking a connection to the spaces we live, work, and play in.
Specializing in architecture, interiors, and lifestyle, I take a documentary-style approach to every project—observing rather than directing and letting moments reveal their own rhythm. I’m fascinated by how light moves through a space, how textures and landscapes invite us in, and how subtle details tell the stories of the lives lived within them. I’m drawn to projects that celebrate meaningful design, real people, and the quiet beauty found in everyday life.

Real experiences create something staged content cannot. When people interact naturally with a space, product, or service, the result is imagery that feels lived in, relatable, and far more meaningful to your audience.

Still images document a project, but video brings it to life. By adding motion, pacing, and perspective, you can communicate the experience of a space in a way that feels more immersive and engaging.

Cost-sharing is a simple way to get more out of your investment in photography and video. By collaborating with other contributors on a project, you can reduce costs, streamline the process, and create a cohesive set of visuals that benefits everyone involved.
