I’m a Cleveland-based photographer and creative director exploring Black interiority. Drawing from social realist and post-minimalist traditions, my work moves between photography, installation, and design, examining the civic and theological dimensions of contemporary life.

I began my creative career in editorial work in New York City before developing an artistic practice concerned with how images produce meaning, circulate through culture, and influence public life. Alongside my studio practice, I work as a cultural strategist, curator, and independent writer, engaging questions of representational ethics, memory, and cultural production within the creative ecology of the Midwest.

I studied art history, photography, and film theory at Bryn Mawr College. I received my JD from Case Western Reserve University School of Law, where I focused on state violence, surveillance, and protected speech. I’m currently an MFA student at the Stamps School of Art & Design. My visual and legal studies inform an ethic of regard, a framework I developed for thinking about cultural production, representation, and responsibility.
