For the last 10 years, I've documented my life and shared videos online. It’s allowed me to materialize and communicate ideas when words seemed to fail. And the thing about art, in its broadest sense, is that every time you make something, you finish a slightly different person than when you started. In other words, as you create the art, it creates you. And the person watching can be changed just as much as the person who made it.

There’s no doubt that we’ll come across a number of inflection points that alter our course in life. Perhaps a realization that makes you want to live more. Or to be a better brother, or sister. Maybe it’s to appreciate the smaller things or to simply be kinder to strangers. Whatever it is, I can bet that somewhere along the way, another person had a hand in these turnings of events.

I believe in the power of small change and coming together. I believe in art and storytelling as a way to bridge gaps. And I have a feeling that we underestimate just how much we can really change.

I created Paradyms with the idea that as important as it is to experience these inflection points, so is our ability to initiate them ourselves.

We live in a time where the idea of a better future can feel like a fantasy and that can be quite daunting. However, the greatest part about being human is our ability to adapt and grow. From what I’ve observed, it takes an active effort to believe in a better future. Optimism and hope rarely come from doing nothing. There’s never been a better time to solve problems. To bring people together. Everyday, I work with inspiring individuals around the world who are doing the extraordinary. They inspire me to keep pushing forward.

I am inspired by my fellow humans and are committed to highlighting stories of human impact and change across all our work.
