A Personal project I’ve been doing for 5+ years is Housepartysea. Where I curate DJ mixes, Host events, and blog about up & coming artists from around the world. This project def something I have tone down a lot once started school but has been amazing piece to my portfolio due to it shows my skills from film photography, video, music, and event production all in one.

Since the time of doing it has become little more than just a passion project but a small aspect of my career of being an artist in Seattle. It’s been interesting to try to balance both at the moment of growth in design and all.

A time I had shift gears when I at least expected at Seattle Central, is during Design History. The video project was set in plan and ready to. Everyone hyped we had everything we needed locked down. We filmed and got our content and it was well thought out. We had our hiccups but nothing too crazy in the early process of collecting film and storyboarding. Then the editing process came. Everything was there and align and was about to wrap up. The first problem occur when one of our project partners had their computer stolen along with out audio recorder.

We were pretty ahead of the game on time so it didn’t hurt us too much but made the timeline way tighter. But things still look good and still had plenty of time for them to get everything back and start up again. Then the audio recording came and realize I had to cut down 2 hours of audio into 30mins. The shift was run but we were too deep into to abandon project. So I stepped to doing more hours of editing to make sure it got done.

The finished project was not 100% what we wanted it to be but it was still something we were proud of and learned from.

I believe food is a great way of communicating and connecting. It’s been a strong way of connecting for years. This is a meal that was mad in collaborative effort between me and long time friend. Photography and food is such a big part of our dynamic and how we create. Often times we bond just coming up with recipes and figuring new ways to capture it.

This is a shrimp pasta we created and is something I just capture in the moment with my Iphone using simple lighting techniques. Sadly had trouble with getting rid of shadows but I still think these came out strongly.
