I was selected out of 12,000 applicants to represent BEHR Paint as their first ever "Color Explorer." The gig transcended various creative disciplines: content creation and strategy, branding, blogging, social media marketing, product design, and copywriting.

My fine art travel photography e-commerce business, 2STRAWS. This print shop is at once a photography portfolio and an example of my creative direction in bringing a new brand to life.

"A Day in the Life" of an Exclusive Resorts member aboard the National Geographic Explorer in Antarctica.

Featured contribution to CURATED, a premium travel magazine. My story "Arabia, Unfaded," which I wrote and photographed, recounts an adventure to UAE and Oman.

After launching the "Endless Summer" paint palette I created for BEHR into The Home Depot stores across North America, they interviewed me about the project.

Paid partnership with California apparel brand Richer Poorer. Back when the brand only sold socks, I traveled to Japan (where shoes are quick to come off) to showcase their latest collection. I created the concept and all marketing collateral (shareable IG posts and product photography).

"How I Travel For Free, In Style, Every Time." An informative article about travel hacking on my own website (2straws.com).

Another article I wrote for Exclusive Resorts' bi-annual print magazine, CURATED, about my favorite luxury properties in their global catalog.

The last of five blog posts I wrote for BEHR Paint's corporate blog, "Colorfully, BEHR," in which I explain my creative process for designing and naming new paint colors.

"Redefining Earth Tones in Banff National Park." Spoiler alert: "Get to da choppa!"

A personal project, self-published on Amazon in 2014 after completing a six-month intensive Nonfiction certificate course at the University of Washington.

My content is regularly featured by top travel and fashion brands. Seen here: Cole Haan, Relais & Châteaux, AFAR, and Matador Network.

"IKEA: My Nightmare." This went semi-viral on Medium (I guess people felt my pain). I'm including it here to show my range as a writer.

The story of my Mt. Rainier summit climb, and an elegy for my guide who perished in a mountaineering accident on a different climb the following year.

My first book! A guidebook I co-authored when I was a wee Junior in college, on Loreto, BCS, Mexico.
