Project Management
Film Photography, Art, Editing, Cooking Meditating
I enjoy taking pictures of people, random things and experimenting.
I have been creating art pieces, I use my time to create art as a form of therapy, taking time to reflect and express myself.
I enjoy editing as it cuts out the rest of the world were it's just the work and myself also enjoy to cut things up to experiment and practice.
I love learning new recipes to try, to challenge myself at times.
I love to meditate to clear my head whenever I am unable to cycle or run.
