Over ten years of independent creative work across photography, illustration, and AI image generation. These are some of the moments that reminded me the work was worth doing.

Stock Career
Since 2013 I've built a library of 15,000+ licensed assets distributed across Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, iStock/Getty Images, and other platforms. The stock career kept me independent, creative, and constantly exploring new visual territory - from food and lifestyle to illustration and AI-generated imagery. Someone once told me: 'People choose your photos from millions of others — that means they're good.' I think about that a lot.

National Geographic Travel Feature
In March 2024 my photograph was selected by @natgeotravel for a feature on spring travel destinations, credited via Getty Images. The post received over 12,600 likes. Someone sent me the post and said 'you're on National Geographic.' I genuinely didn't expect it.

AI Image Generation
When AI image generation emerged I jumped in early, not just as a user but as a creator with intention. My best-selling AI image has nearly 2,000 downloads on Adobe Stock. I also contributed to Adobe Firefly's model training missions. For me AI is a tool that makes the impossible possible: subjects and scenes that no camera could capture.
