I’m a Chicago-based photographer and writer interested in how people shape their environments, and how those environments, in turn, shape them. My work blends documentary and artistic approaches to explore how physical, emotional and psychological aspects of urban space and life come together.

I’ve spent over a decade working in public policy and community health, including most recently leading national collaborations that connect hospitals with local organizations to improve health and well-being. These experiences help inform my creative practice by understanding cities not just as backdrops, but as living systems filled with human stories worthy of our attention, care and preservation.

Through both images and writing, I aim to create work that makes people pause, look closer, and feel more connected to the world around them.
