The Impact of Plant-based Food

Food is something I think about constantly. I’m always planning my meals or a colorful photograph I’d like to take. I was never a foodie until I became vegan, and plant-based food has become absolutely fascinating to me. It has become my form of creative expression and a way to connect with nature. I’m also thinking about food as activism—of ways I can photograph food to entice people to eat more plants!

Wellness + Self Care

To me, wellness means eating food that benefits not only benefits myself, but also the earth and all of its inhabitants. There is a certain joy that comes from knowing that no animals will be harmed for my benefit. And of course, exercise and sleep are crucial to wellness too!
