The best way to know ‘about’ me, is to spend time with me. Enjoy, A Week in My Life

This morning begin with the sky—watching it, writing under it, sometimes charting the stars from the night before. I’ve never been able to separate wonder from work.

Tomorrow, I’ll sculpt. Clay between my fingers reminds me to slow down, to listen to what form wants to emerge. The human figure, in particular, tells stories long before we speak.

The day after that is for thinking in color. I paint not to impress but to understand—how light changes a memory, how texture can hold a mood. My materials shift, but my aim stays the same: presence.

By midweek, I’ve likely read something ancient and gone down a rabbit hole about galactic migration. I study not for credentials, but to remember my place in the cosmos. Philosophy and astrophysics live side by side in my notebooks. Sometimes, so do my own fictional characters.

The following day is for voice: writing essays, telling stories, exploring the edges of language and how it holds feeling. I believe beauty can be a kind of truth-telling.

This Friday might involve collaborating with a brand, designing a private experience, or mapping a new creative system for a client. I build for others what I build for myself: a life that holds art and ideas with equal reverence.

The days following are slower, often spent in museums, markets, or moving through cities at dusk. I collect details the way others collect objects—color palettes, overheard phrases, the weight of a particular silence.

My “work” isn’t a career. It’s a conversation across mediums and moments. Sculpture, writing, painting, philosophy, and the cosmos—they all speak. I’m simply listening, responding, and inviting others to do the same.
