About Me

Hi! I’m JB!

Born in California, raised around the world 🌎

With my dad formerly being in the military, I’ve had the pleasure of traveling around the world for a good amount of my early years. At a young age, this helped to become a very curious person. This translated to picking up a few things along the way - dance, videography, photography, and a keen eye for people watching.

Dance helped me to create stories and picking up a camera has helped me to capture life’s everyday moments. I continue to find the happy medium between the two in order to capture moments that matter to people!

Experience

Founder and Director → sixfourteen

sixfourteen is a collective of individuals that believe in the right to opportunity. We started as a group of friends in the same church who love to dance and from there, we’ve become something greater than ourselves.
sixfourteen believes in creating opportunities and fighting for the things that we believe in. Through our story-based approach, our mission is to inspire and empower people to share their stories and to create the opportunities that they wish existed for them. We believe that by working hard in silence, we then allow our work to fully, and properly, find a voice of its own.
