Mashable Memories
While not published, I was able to interview Ashley Graham, Philomena Kwao and Nicola Griffin for their Swimsuits for All 2016 campaign.
If you know me, you know I love beards. This was taken with a vendor during the 2016 International Beauty Show while I was there hunting for stories and new products.
A huge part of my job while at Mashable was coming up with the visual and art components of a story. This was one of my favorites: the vegan sex kit!
