for over 20 years, I was a fashion photographer...

  I was great at it!!!!! I had the opportunity to travel and create amazing images with amazing people. Then Covid hit and like many of us I had to shift gears...quickly! During Covid I dove into Digital illustration. I got creative  and loved the process. but as soon as Covid was lifted I got right back into my studio and pushed forward with photography hyper-focused to ramp back up leaving all my digital illustration work behind. As i tried to jump back into the swing of things I could feel something was different. Photography was slow, people were still uncomfortable, My travel never ramped back up and on top of some crazy business stuff happing I felt maybe this was a sign to switch gears. With everything happening around me there was something in me that did not comeback from Covid. I struggled with closing my studio and leaving this amazing world that took me so many years to build behind. ...it was hard! I closed my studio, sold most of my props and items and took a hiatus to really think about "WHAT NOW!" Navigating the Art World beyond photography was new but the thing I felt most needed was doing something I loved and was fun to me. I had to let go of a lot of things in order to move on to this very new thing. I will always love photography and never put my camera in a box out of site. But my new endeavor is taking shape and hopefully this next decade will be adventurous in a whole new way. I'm excited to share with you my new work....Welcome to Urban Jipse Design Co
