I’m building something that has taken more than 40 years to live, understand, and survive — and only since March have I finally begun putting it into words, systems, and structure. This work is my life’s mission, and I’m looking for collaborators who want to be part of something meaningful, human, and bigger than themselves.
Right now, I’m still building and not generating income from this work, so I can’t offer financial compensation yet. Instead, I’m offering real experience, portfolio pieces, creative influence, and the chance to help shape a movement from the ground up.
I am looking for people who are either students, recent grads, new to their field, or believe in what I am doing and has the skills and equipment to assist me.
To make this manageable, I’m breaking tasks into small, clear pieces. You can take on one task or multiple — whatever fits your interest, schedule, and energy.
If you’re someone who wants hands‑on experience, creative freedom, and a mission‑driven project to be part of, I’d love to collaborate with you.
Photography Collaborators
I have 7 distinct photo concepts, and I’m looking for one photographer per look. Each look is intentional and tied to my brand identity and storytelling. I do have some ideas in mind so I am looking for people to collaborate on the details. I am also better behind the camera so I will need some directing on posing, as don't know my angles. You need to be located in Chicago, have your own equipment, able to travel, creative, and able to collaborate and direct. Available days/times for shoots are Monday-Wednesday and Friday, 8am-12pm. Compensation for photographers:
