Hi. I am Joel. For nearly 15 years I have worked in photography and design. Growing up in Northern California and Nevada but traveling around the world.

I first started taking photos in college; as a study abroad student in Japan, and a journalist at my home university. After graduation, a friend and myself completed a 9000+ mile bicycle tour around North America that lasted for 9 months.

Soon after I would live in Lake Tahoe for a winter and start my first professional art job as a photographer working at the resort Palisades Tahoe. After Tahoe, I moved to Hawaii and worked for a couple years as a wedding photographer and as a media manager for a chain of local bicycle shops.

Upon returning to Nevada, I worked as a production artist, coach, and occasional trainer for a larger national e-commerce custom print company.

In the last year I have moved back to Okinawa, Japan.
