I’ve had a passion for computers and technology ever since I could remember. I would always be so excited when I was allowed to use the family computer growing up and loved “Typing Class” in my early school years.
I graduated from college/university with a degree in Information Technology & Computer Networking, and my passion for technology has perpetually grown ever since. During this time, I also stumbled upon photography on a whim and must’ve watched every YouTube tutorial video that existed just to figure out how to even use my camera.
After college, I got my first full-time job working for an IT company just outside of Boston, Massachusetts as a Systems Engineer. During this time, one of my life-long friends floated the idea of us taking a trip out to Utah to hike, and I thought it would be a perfect chance for me to practice my photography as well as push myself into a new chapter of photography.
Many trips later, photography had become such a strong part of my life. With this newfound passion, I began to utilise Instagram more and more, as it started to become much easier to connect with other photographers, and most importantly, get inspired to continue shooting.

Fast-forward to July 2019, I left my job in Boston and moved to Austin, Texas, where I worked for a similar company as my job in Boston and had a fresh, new apartment to set up with my girlfriend.
For the first time, we had an extra bedroom, which we knew we would share as an office. March 2020 came around, and I started to find my mind aching for another hobby to stay busy while abiding by the worldwide lockdowns taking place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, I’ve always known that the big tech companies tend to just “know” what you’re thinking, but somehow, Instagram knew what I wanted before I even knew what I wanted.
Sure enough, I began to discover a few Instagram pages that had amazing aesthetics and even better desk setups. These pages just randomly popped up on my feed, and I couldn’t look away.
I was immediately fascinated by these pages and setups. Each desk/room setup was completely different in its own respective way.
I loved seeing how people used their spaces differently, incorporating tech with furniture to end up with their own personal sanctuary.
I was inspired to use these ideas and create my own space, where I could feel more than comfortable, have everything I need within short reach, and even express a part of my personality.
I’ve realised that this technology bug (pun intended) isn’t going to go away any time soon. Technology still fascinates me to this day, and reading about new technology coming out continues to excite me.
I currently have my main photography page on Instagram, a new technology/desk setup-focused page that I recently started, as well as my website, where I continue to post my photography, desk setup, and tech I’m using that I think others would like as well.
