Raised in the united states, my father was a member of the United States Air Force, and my mother took on many supporting roles at each base that we moved to. As a military child, I got to see many parts of the world, and have experiences that most people never do before I was even eighteen. 

When I was getting ready to go to college my father asked me what I wanted to do. At the time I had never heard of Industrial Design, but I told my father that I saw a lot of problems with products out on the market and I wanted to change that. He then introduced me to Industrial Design, which had been what he studied at Auburn University before joining the Air Force.

I decided to study Industrial Design at Auburn University as well, and as part of my curriculum, I needed to learn product photography. Which was when I found a second passion.
