About​​

I was born in Belarus and raised as a third-culture kid in Germany. At sixteen, I bought a tiny, inexpensive camera so I could have something of my hometown to hold onto before making a move to the US. That moment sparked a love for visual storytelling and documentation in me, and before long, the camera became a constant companion in life. 

I graduated with a BA from The Evergreen State College, focusing my studies on art history, photography, and creative writing. Shortly after, I moved to Seattle to pursue my work as a freelance photographer. 

I currently reside in Capitol Hill, Seattle, with my partner and our goofy chaos gremlin (sometimes referred to as a 'puppy') Olive. Outside of photography, I enjoy traipsing in the spectacular PNW landscape, haunting local bookstores, consuming ungodly amounts of coffee, and occasionally painting/drawing.
