I am
HIPS.

A whole human who makes pictures, moves images for artists and music, sells insurance by day, and is currently studying industrial design — proud of every single piece.

The Index

Not one lane — a catalog. Here's what I do, and yes, all of it counts.

01 / Image

Photography

Portraits, moments, the in-between. I shoot for people and the way they connect to each other.

Stills
02 / Motion

Video & Graphics

Visuals for artists and musicians — motion and graphic work that moves with the sound.

For artists
03 / Context

Culture

The scenes and stories worth documenting. Where the music, the people and the moment meet.

Ongoing
04 / People

Human Connection

Years in customer service taught me the real craft — reading a person and making them feel met.

Day-to-day
05 / Real life

Insurance, by day

Yes, I sell insurance — and I'm good at it. Same skill as everything else: listen, then help.

The 9–5
06 / Currently

Industrial Design

In school for an A.A.S. in Industrial Design. Learning to design objects the way I design moments — around people.

Bartending

Behind the bar as @truebartender — cocktails, hospitality, and reading a room in real time. Same human craft, a different counter.

About

I'm a complete piece of human interaction.

I don't fit in one box, and I stopped trying to. I make photographs and moving images for artists and music, I read a room for a living, and I sell insurance by day. The common thread is people — every one of these is really about connection.

Hips are where the body turns. I'm the pivot between worlds that don't usually meet — art and 9-to-5, music and margins, the camera and the counter.

And right now I'm in school for industrial design, which I'm genuinely proud of. It's teaching me to design things the same way I've always designed moments: around the human who has to live with them.
