When it comes to storytelling, be it visual, written, auditory or otherwise, authenticity is everything. And, being my true authentic self, I have to say without reservation - that this opportunity is what I would unequivocally consider to be a “dream job” - a term I do not use loosely.
As an avid Airbnb user (over 70 trips, 18 in the past 12 months), I have become quite familiar with the platform, the brand, its marketing and mission. And, as an avid traveler, photographer and creative, I have leveraged the platform to help expand my personal and professional creative reach. It seems serendipitous to have this rare, and what I would consider to be prestige, opportunity presented before me.
Anyway, I digress. Here are a handful of projects that I’ve done over the years. Some marketing, editorial, interior and portrait pieces, as well as some stills from my corporate life at Salesforce (videos upon request as they contain customer confidential content). I’ve also included some designs and videos as that plays a very large roll in my storied background.

A few samples of human-forward storytelling
Video is a significant part of skill-set so I decided to show a few samples of scope. However, I have dozens more that are customer confidential and would require password / limited access.
Aligned Values
Champion the Mission
Travel, photography, and hospitality are at my core. My wanderlust and passion for cultural and community storytelling has literally been enabled and expanded via the Airbnb platform, making me excited about the opportunity to help further these stories from the inside out. I've built communities using photography as the medium—from organizing mission-driven photo fundraisers to running a year-long, travel-inspired social contest where I gave away a print each week via Instagram. These experiences taught me how visual storytelling can create genuine connections across cultures and communities.
Be a Host
Hospitality is in my blood. I've co-created welcoming, community-driven spaces through my Chicago coffee shop and former cocktail bar in Cambodia. My absolute favorite aspect of these projects has been witnessing and contributing to the development of new relationships and strengthened communities. This hands-on experience as a host has given me unique insight into creating environments where people feel genuinely welcome—a perspective I bring to all my creative work.
Embrace the Adventure
This is my literal life. I've been fortunate enough to live in a diverse range of cities including Phnom Penh, NYC, Chicago, and London. As you can see from my video, I've used Airbnb nearly 75 times across over a dozen countries—including more than 12 stays in the past year alone. I'm currently geographically fluid and constantly looking for my next adventure, which allows me to immerse myself in different cultures, live like local and capture authentic stories wherever I go.
Be a Cereal Entrepreneur
My entrepreneurial spirit extends beyond the hospitality space. I was a partner in a mission-driven tech startup designed to amplify underrepresented voices and developed a video-based passion project that earned recognition as a Webby Honoree. I've created two design agencies (successfully selling one) and built a career as a globally celebrated DJ/music producer with notable accolades and broadcast syncs. What's significant is that all these pursuits were self-taught—entrepreneurship is all I know. What I might lack in specific experience, I make up for tenfold with curiosity and ambition.
