Shrine came to birth during a season when everything felt too fast.

For 15 years, I worked as a motion designer and visual storyteller, working with Google and many other clients to shape stories through image, rhythm, and movement. Working alongside technology was an important part of becoming who I am today, but over time I felt a growing need for a different pace - for ways of making that were and more , in tune with the cycle of nature.

Over the last decade, I began building practices that moved in that direction: tattooing, printmaking, ritual art, Eastern astrology, natural dyeing, and working with earth pigments. It took years before I understood that these paths were not separate from one another.

Shrine emerged from the meeting point between them: the designer trained in systems and motion, the artist drawn toward symbol and prayer, the tattooer who understands the body as a living archive, and the ritual practitioner learning to live in deeper relationship with land, ancestors, and the more-than-human world.

I’m building Shrine as a place to slow down and return to what matters. This became a deeply personal need after many years in the tech industry. In a world shaped by acceleration, constant stimulation, and the fear of falling behind, Shrine is my attempt to practice an older rhythm that’s in sync with nature.

If you have found your way here, I hope this space offers a moment to pause and reconnect with what feels alive.
