It took me years to find precisely the right word to capture myself, those I love, and the scenes, songs, countries, and its people which have captivated my soul. It is all these elements which one channels into the work they do with a deep passion: Meraki. The essence of my heart which delicately lends itself to each word scrawled on grainy piece of paper, atop a ship in the middle of the Aegean Sea. The world's shades of color in every photo taken. The things I taste, smell, touch, breathe, and live.
