SIDE DIMES
QUARANTINE SERIES

While quarantining during COVID-19, my partner Mikayla and I created a light hearted piece on the importance of staying at home. Since art has always documented history, we thought that doing a COVID-19 art piece would be relevant and timely.

We posted them on Mikayla’s Instagram account @SideDimes which resulted in an account growth of over 2000%, a Lena Dunham and Diane Von Furstenburg IG post, and an article on MusebyClio.

AIRBNB EXPERIENCES HOST
NYC’S TOP SPEAKEASIES

Out of all the bars in NYC, I've personally found the most pleasure in speakeasies. With this knowledge, I decided to create an Airbnb Experience to meet people from around the world and learn about different cultures.

My goal? To make outsiders feel like insiders, to make tourists feel like locals.

I’ve met some amazing guests along the way - from Connecticut to Germany, and even Guam. Learning about different cultures has always been super helpful in digging for global human truths.

WE SOLD A ROCK.

Anything can be sold, it just depends how you present it.
So if we can sell a rock, shouldn’t we be able to sell anything?

We found a rock in Brooklyn, and put it up for sale on Craigslist and eBay. Yeah, who the hell would want to buy a rock?
Well, here’s what we learned. If it’s well presented, who wouldn’t?

And guess what? It worked.

During my free time I enjoy shooting photography, have a look at some of my favorites. Shot with a Nikon FM2 on 35mm film... #nofilter

PHOTOGRAPHY

There were two things I noticed when trying to break into this industry - It's damn hard, and that the Cannes Lions are a huge deal. Since I lived in Cannes for a bit, I decided to create a stunt called 'Hidden Gems of Cannes' highlighting some of Cannes' best hidden restaurants. I sent it to my favorite creative directors, but in order for them to access it, they had to first go through my book.

I followed up the next year with Cannes' Best Breakfast Spots for the Hungry or Hungover. Adweek picked up both stories and published each one at the start of the Cannes Lions festivals.
