This is the first of hopefully many more posts to come, so Thank you for stopping by! </p>\n<p>As of 2026, I have seemingly ended one chapter of my life to begin a new one to encourage my own personal journey and hopeful outward growth. For the first time in nearly 20 years, I have made the choice to take a break from the creative fields in a professional capacity. Absolutely, economics and the general state of the world to this point have had an impact, however I think it's important to note that my decision to depart is one that's been building for quite some time and for many different reasons <em>(which are largely apparent with the state of creative industries).</em> The pandemic and subsequent years after, have set our world on a path into the pure unknown - which is no longer conducive to my prior outlook/goals. With multiple creative industries that seem to be cratering everyday into near obsolescence, I'm both remorseful and grateful for the many experiences and privileges that I've been afforded after a career that I never expected to be a part of, let alone excel in for a time.</p>\n<p>My life goals have markedly transitioned from ones that were very internal - to more external in hopes to affect people's lives in a more outwardly positive way. So if anybody can glean useful information, thought provoking ruminations, or just find some joy in looking at some niche creative ventures; then you're in good company &amp; I appreciate the opportunity to appeal to your attention!</p>\n<p>While I am taking a break from creative work in a professional capacity, I'm extremely excited to gain back my artistic freedom under different pretenses and have a go at this journal-style portfolio for more active engagement on my part. I'm excited to hopefully find the love again of the many artistic crafts I've experimented with throughout my life.</p>\n<p>Knowing that few will likely ever stumble upon this site, I feel like I can finally let my hair down and be more of myself to the few that have. So, Thank you again for joining me on my journey, and I hope that I am able to spark something within you (hopefully a yearning to imagine, create, and explore) - or, you know hopefully you can just look at some cool images if nothing else 😅</p>\n<p>Cheers! 🍻</p>",
