As a kid, I took apart old phones and appliances just to understand them. I made invention notebooks. I moved between science fairs, robotics, cameras, clothes, and every small designed object I could get my hands on.

That curiosity still drives the work. The medium changes from project to project. I pay attention, find the structure, and make from there.

Griot Studio is the independent practice where I carry an idea across forms. A photograph can become a book. A book can inform an object. An object can open another round of research.

The Griot Book Series is my authored publication work. It belongs to the larger Griot world, but it is not the company. The books began with photography, family, friendship, and the need to keep a record.

I learned early that precision and care belong together. A thing can work exactly as intended and still leave the people around it depleted. I am interested in the fuller measure.

An ecology of making asks what a thing gives, what it takes, who it keeps in relation, and what continues after the object is finished.
