All content on this website, including the site itself, was created 100% by me unless labeled as a collaboration. I am open to all kinds of creative requests—just send me an email or a DM via my social media profiles.

My work is intentionally broad, which has allowed me to cultivate a diverse skillset and some essential traits: intense open-mindedness, adaptability, and cross-functional, out-of-the-box thinking. I approach every new medium and idea not as an obstacle, but as an opportunity for synergy.

You can call me TSAM (pronounced T-SAM). It’s my one and only gamertag, originating from my time as a competitive esports player. Friends started calling me that, and while it does have a meaning, I’ll keep that a secret for now. Essentially, every hobby of mine has eventually turned into part of my professional life—even dancing. I dance Lindy Hop, a Swing and Jazz partner dance, and it has become one of the most important aspects of my life. There is only one hobby remaining that is mostly disconnected from my career: LARP (Live Action Role Playing).I love diving into foreign worlds and seize every opportunity to do so. This might be the core of everything I’m passionate about: dancing, roleplaying, traveling, documenting dreams, and writing stories. I also used to play music—cello, guitar, trumpet—but had to set that aside due to lack of time. Another passion currently on hold is keeping pets. From guinea pigs and cats to rats, hamsters and dogs, animals were always part of my life. There will forever be a soft spot for animals (and plushies) in my heart.
