With the arrival of Hugo, I knew 2022 would be a different kind of year. I made a shift and commitment to focus on mini creative sprints instead of larger, weeks-or-months-long projects. I aimed for things that would satisfy both the need for process and output and could be completed in a day or less.

This led to things like quick design projects and merch runs (mostly Hugo-inspired); audition self-tapes; thoughtful, immersive experience design; building a catalogue of five-minute stories; producing and editing video shorts; magazine, show, and creative pitches and applications; pop-up photoshoots; and more.

After winning a monthly StorySLAM earlier this year (sharing my early-2000s aspirations of meeting Kelly Rowland), I was invited to participate in the GrandSLAM Championship in December. Thankful for this very special night and the strong sense of community around storytelling here in Atlanta.

11 days in Chile to close out the year - we piloted a race concept through the Atacama Desert, wrote/produced/directed a short film, helmed the creative for a brand campaign, built an experience and swag package for a select group of Close Friends™️ following along from home, and published Make Running Issue #05. The zine’s only available in physical format, but since you’re here, …. here. All photography was sourced from disposable cameras distributed to the group; words, layout, and creative direction are from me and late nights in between bottle feedings.
