When a Project Becomes Personal
Some projects go beyond design. They go straight to the heart.
When ISS called and asked me to document their Los Angeles Fire Relief initiative, I dropped everything to join. This wasn’t just another shoot — it was about people, resilience, and community.
I spent days in Pasadena photographing and filming the aftermath of the Altadena fires, and most importantly, the people it affected. Their stories were raw and real. My job was simple: to listen, to document, and to show with honesty and heart.
“Three minutes of video built a relationship that would have taken three months.”
Stories Matter
This project reminded me why I do what I do.
