An aspiring photographer, designer, curator, DJ, and creative director, born and raised in Queens, New York. From a young age, I’ve been passionate about capturing moments and preserving memories—each one shaping the way I see the world. Whether flipping through family photo albums, watching old VHS tapes, or creating visuals through design, my life has always been at the core of my creativity.

Beyond photography, music plays a huge role in my life. From curating sounds to exploring DJing, I find inspiration in the rhythm and energy that music brings. Design, fashion, and visual art are also key outlets for me, allowing me to bring ideas to life in ways that feel authentic and meaningful. That love for creativity led me to create Recognize New York, Recognize Records, and Fujifilmatic—a visual and audible journey through the eyes of just a kid from Queens.

Whether through the lens, music, or clothes my goal is to create, inspire, and share my vision with the world. I hope you enjoy seeing life through my lens and hearing it through my sound.
