How should one begin their portfolio? Why not with some good humor?
Intimate and Warm Acoustics
Stripped down moments of authentic connection. Where gentle optimism meets melancholy.
Emotional and Moving
Moments where the story turns and we feel anxious about what’s next.
Gritty and Tough
For when the soil is underneath your nails.
Mystery and Intrigue
When there is fear and concern, but our character bravely persists.
