About Me

Photography is my way of slowing down and seeing the world differently. Through my camera, I explore layers, contrasts, and beauty, capturing stories that inspire reflection and connection.

My journey has been shaped by innovation and creativity. From a career in product and technology to a passion for barefoot running, I've learned the power of pushing boundaries. These experiences fuel my photography, helping me connect with the world and share its stories.

For me, photography is a way to challenge the ordinary, highlight the extraordinary, and invite others to pause and see what they might have missed.

It has guided me towards the need to protect wild habitats and the surrounding communities. I am an ambassador for Kenya Wildlife Trust and work with them to increase awareness for wildlife conservation.

Let’s slow down together for a moment to see a different perspective.

I believe slowing down is essential in a world that moves too fast. When we pause, we see things differently. We discover meaning in the details and a deeper connection to ourselves and others.

My photography invites you to join this journey: to take a moment, reflect and find beauty in the ordinary.

My life and work experiences shape my art, inspiring me to push boundaries and challenge perceptions. Photography is a way to stay connected with the world and share stories that inspire others to do the same.
