Q+A:
What Does a Typical Work Day Look Like for You?
Wake up around 8am, unless I need to be up earlier for a call time. Shower, eat breakfast, get to my desk around 9am. Edit, shoot, meetings — most days are different to be honest! I plan in a lot of down time, I travel a fair amount as well. If I'm not working I tend to go see friends and family.
Do You Have a Daily Ritual or Routine That You Stick To?
I'd have a bath everyday if I could. I'm obsessed with taking a bath. I usually read at night to help send me off, tend to hit the gym as well — especially if I'm not busy. Meditate some mornings, depending on my mental state.
What Is Your Dietary Philosophy?
Aim for colors, 5 a day. Smoothies to get fruits in, and greens during dinner time.
How Often Do You Workout Each Week?
Varies, fully dependent on my body and my current level of recovery.

What's Something People Tend to Misunderstand About You?
I ask a lot of questions, sometimes it can come off as me trying to assess how much you know, but in reality I'm just trying to understand your angle.
What Do We Have to Look Forward to from You?
Bigger and better shoots, more content on my IG, and some exclusive content that people can subscribe to.
