I'm the guitarist and manager of a funk band called
Funky Lamp. I also work with a local
organization called Post Genre where I am responsible for our visual branding and web development.
We recently launched HAVEN, Oakland's first independent music venue in twenty years. I've been
a visual artist all my life, and have had the opportunity to apply this intuition in many of my projects.
In my free time, you'll find me cooking, reading, or bartering on
Facebook Marketplace. At one time, I was also a 3D Prop & Environment artist.
Lastly, as you can probably see, I mess around with web development.
