Beyond music — my primary artistic language as a cellist — I have always been drawn to creative work in many forms. From photography and building websites to recording, mixing, mastering, and creating video, I am inspired by creative challenges that connect sound, image, and technology. What began as curiosity became both a lifelong passion and a professional pursuit.
