I explore the plants around me with writing and photography.

I am also a creative thinker with a solutions oriented mindset, and I offer additional services depending on the type of project.

Content is only as good as its source.

Providing real stories sourced from lived experiences is the only way to create original content that engages and inspires. Without the hard work of researching, analyzing, and discovering, writings tend to be lackluster repeats of information that is already available online. My work cuts through misinformation and acts as a shining light for nature lovers.

My Solutions

Clear, concise, and story driven writing is hard to come by. That is why I like to prioritize both the lived experiences of plants and people alike.

Inspired by the natural world, I catalogue the plants growing around me with professional and intimate photographs.

In today’s world, social media reigns supreme as the way to connect with others and spread your message. I specialize in original, and engaging content.

Poetry is the thread that ties my writing together. I write poems about the natural world, queer life, and being a steward of the Earth.
