I am a multimedia graphic designer and web developer based out of Colorado. I frequently travel around North America in a camper van in search of adventure and telling the stories of the wildlands I encounter along the way.

MY VAN TOPANGA

In 2019, I traveled across the U.S. in my self-converted campervan named Topanga. Topanga was a 2014 Ford Econoline with a raised roof. I bought the van as a handicap accessible vehicle with a wheelchair lift, then completely gutted the inside and converted the space into my tiny home on wheels.

Topanga and I originated from New York, but traveled through 34 states, 20+ national parks, and made countless unforgettable memories together.

We traveled thousands of miles across the United States in search of photography spots and to visit all of the National Parks. My trip had its ups and downs, but it was the adventure that I had been looking for. Check out my trip...

SELLING THE VAN

I currently live in San Luis Valley in southern Colorado. I have sold the van and bought an off-grid house. My partner and I are hoping to build a self-sufficient lifestyle here while growing our brands. I work remotely as a freelance web developer, graphic designer, and photographer. I specialize in capturing my client's brand and stories through multimedia projects.
