Directed and production designed the music video for the song “No More Birthdays” by my friend Finney (Middle Monster). Thank you Finney for trusting me with this beautiful, deep song and allowing me to experiment and build a visual world around it. Thank you to my whole team of very talented, hard working, and lovely people who I hold so dear to my heart. All of your talents are really extraordinary. Link in bio.

Here are some photos I took of a beautiful brownstone that @studiophh designed; some of which were featured in yesterday’s WSJ.
I am also thrilled to say that I am pursuing freelance work! So here is my plug to follow along at @lukes_things to view my projects spanning photography, production design, and furniture making.
Some select moments from these last several months that bring a smile to my face. Not everything was quite this dandy, but man am I thankful for this life I live. And remember, life’s too short to be taken too seriously!
I had my final week at my job last week! These last three years have seen so much challenge, growth, and sweetness for me. But a big part of life is knowing when it’s time to move on. Not entirely sure what this next season will bring, but I have a feeling it’s going to be great!
A little history on my (now former) office building. Not only did I work in this building, but so did my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather! Still blows my mind. So naturally, I had to get the “307” tattooed to commemorate this legacy.
Pictured: me during my job, me on my last day at my job, me now with my new tattoo, and how I’m feeling post-job!
