Life Outside of Travel & Photography

Second to photography, another passion is leather crafting. I create a variety of handcrafted leather pieces including custom camera straps, coasters, phone cases, MacBook sleeves, AirPod cases, and wallets. For those who are interested, Each piece is designed and hand-stitched using premium leathers like pull up, crazy horse, cowhide, full-grain, vegetable-tanned, and exotic leather varieties. I'm constantly experimenting with different leather types and finishes to create unique, functional art pieces that blend utility with beauty. Needless to say, I also enjoy pastel coloring for those quieter creative moments, writing to process my thoughts, exploring innovation and new ideas, and playing chess for the mental challenge. Can you sense a theme?

When I'm not lost in a creative project, I like to spend time with my pets. We travel when we can, go on long walks, and simply enjoy the bliss of companionship.
