Hundreds of interviews conducted and published across multiple platforms.

Business Insider
In 2015, I worked at B.I., where I did interviews as part of publishing over 100 posts in six months, with a quarter of the posts exceeding 100,000 page views.
The original features often highlighted different photographers from around the world.
I also shot my own photos on assignment around New York City.
In addition, I co-ran Business Insider’s main Instagram account in its first stages, growing its following.
Ludique Magazine
As the Founder and Editor of this publication, I did a large majority of the interviews for the magazine, with around 100 total.
I spoke with photographers from around the world, particularly with an emphasis on everyday mobile photographers, from 2013-2016.
RESPECT Magazine
In the summer of 2012, I worked as a photographer and journalist intern at this music publication.
When not out photographing concerts and artists, I also did interviews for the digital side of content.
These features were often with artists tied to culture across music, photography, and more.
Creatives Video Interview Series
In high school, I filmed a series of conversations with around 50 different individuals across a range of mediums as one of my first creative projects.
The series focused on their journey, their craft, their process, and sharing lessons for others to learn.
A group of highlighted interviews from the archive are featured below.
Who?: Jabari Johnson is fresh out of college, embarking on a new creative journey in his web series of "Jabari Presents." Already several episodes in, the results are certainly impressive. Before this, Jabari did a ton of interviews with a lot of music artists ranging from Nicki Minaj to RZA (of Wu-Tang) to Justin Beiber. Tales of the Visual: Jabari and I met in Central Park a few weeks ago to discuss everything from his start with interviewing, his love for hip hop, why he decided to take it to the next level with Jabari Presents, and much more. It's always great to meet someone else who does conversations/interviews and see the similarities and differences in their methods and style. This is the fourth episode of a series under Boundless Dreams TV called 'Youngest in Charge.' The series is about a young generation of talented beings who are already on a path filled with making moves along the pursuit of nothing less than greatness.
Theo Martins, a Rhode Island native, is a very talented musician with much promise. Earlier this year after seeing his name around different places online, I decided to give his music a listen. A project he had just released, entitled "You Can't Do This on Television," caught my attention and I really liked the concept of it and the whole idea of breaking through the restricted content of what can be, or is, on TV. In fact, it resonates heavily with the theme behind Boundless Dreams TV in that with this project the goal is also to provide content that will probably not be found on TV; instead, providing true, honest, real life, stories of individuals with boundless dreams. Anyway, the project was short but skillful and I ended up going back and listening to Theo's past work (specifically his two mixtapes released before that, "The Birth" and "Channel Surfin"). Impressed by his unique flow and consistent content, there was no hesitation in wanting to have a conversation with him. It took a little bit, but when Theo was in Brooklyn at the beginning of September for a show at Southpaw, we finally got to chop it up and had a great discussion. Press play on the video player above to see what transpired. This is the second episode of a series entitled "Universal Language Originators." No matter where you go around the world, there is no denying the impact music has. It's basically a universal language.
