What is the best thing that I love about my work?
I believe storytelling allows me to connect with people from different backgrounds. It allows me to not only entertain, but connect with others on a deeper level. I tell stories to help deliver bigger messages that may not be seen throughout everyday life. There’s a meaning and a purpose behind every story I tell where I want the viewer to feel as if they are living in the same world as the characters and have the opportunity to change their own narrative, but in real life. Another thing I love about my work is showcasing imagery that can reveal information through the viewer’s observation.
