Where it Began...
As early as I could remember, my parents opened up the world to me and encouraged me to explore. My mom would take me to Broadway shows and museums and allow me to walk around for hours. My dad kept stacks of National Geographic magazines under the living room table. As a child, I’d thumb through and dream of what a life of discovery could be for me. I wanted to see the world, understand it, and share my experiences through journalism and photography. I wanted to understand humanity and how we solved problems alone and together.
This desire turned into a career of pursuing my curiosities. I’ve shared stories from inside organizations and institutions that I believe in. I have led, worked with, and supported people and efforts that I find creative and meaningful. Each experience inspired me because I believed they made a positive impact on our communities and world.
I’ve created campaigns for NGOs, managed communications in the financial services industry and Capitol Hill. I have created media projects for well-known artists and cultural organizations. I have traveled to over 25 countries on five continents. Each place has left a lasting impact on my life and personal story.
In January 2020 I launched my creative firm ElevenThirtySix. So far we’ve supported the work of more than 40 organizations in the cultural and social impact sectors.
In September 2022, I packed two suitcases and became a digital nomad, traveling around the African continent. Today, my team and I run a creative business that is completely digital-first. We all live around and travel the world.
