I believe in the power of storytelling. I live, create, and tell stories through photography, graphic art, and creative writing. Passion for emotion, exploration, and authenticity fuels my work. The present moment is at its best when steeped in human connection and vulnerability.
I create under the personas Rochester Grimoire and Diriz; visit those collections! My first book, Dark Web Voices, is now available for free online: learn more here.
I'd love to hear from you, say hello at the Contact page! 👋🏼
