The Underwater Designer

It's pretty exciting to have my work as an underwater photographer and filmmaker featured on This Lens by SmugMug. I love sharing our underwater world and giving insight into what's below the water line.

This production was made during the filming of Protected Waters: Exploring La Jolla with Alex Rose. She did a great job capturing me underwater for these segments while we worked with some unusual conditions.

I'm more nervous working in front of someone I know and love so well than with a group of strangers. Although I find being in front of the camera instead of behind it awkward, this was an amazing collaboration. The production team at Teak put this together. I can't say enough kind words for them.

I've used SmugMug to power my website for a decade. It has helped me quickly communicate who I am, what I do, and why it matters. Although I am a front-end web developer, I never have time to work on my website. To that end, I look forward to launching my brand refresh this year. I promise. It's hard to make time for my materials when I work on so many amazing projects.

Many thanks to Odyssea By Fletcher, Alex Rose, and Anton Lorimer for helping show what it's like to work as an underwater photographer and filmmaker.

Travel time! I'm heading to the amazing museum at NOAA Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary for the premiere of our film in the Thunder Bay International Film Festival.

Read about our latest film, Protected Waters: Exploring La Jolla as featured in The Alpena News.

Alex Rose and I collaborate on this special film series to illuminate protected waters. It's a joy to work with such a dedicated filmmaker with a marine biology background so that we can provide informed footage about complex ecosystems. We have a little fun too!
