About Us




We curated Locus Magazine in hopes of inspiring a "Globally Local" mindset in our readers.
We are currently based in Lubbock, but no matter the city we're covering, we want you to feel as if you're there.
By reading our stories, you'll feel like you're part of the community. Because you are. As an added bonus you'll also get to see all of our super cool pictures.
Welcome to the LOCUS family.

I graduated from Texas Tech University with a B.B.A. in Marketing Fall 2021. I've been practicing photography since the beginning of 2022. It's been a journey that's taken me many wonderful places, now including the creation of Locus Magazine with Riley.
I draw constant inspiration from those around me and could think of no better creative outlet to express my passion for community.

From 2015-17 I studied Journalism at South Plains College where I wrote for the Plainsman Press. While there I built an essential foundation for all of my future creative endeavors, and picked up a camera for the first time.
I then studied Creative Media Industries at Texas Tech and set out on my own as a concert and editorial photographer. Along my journey, I became a creative director and model, and most recently my path led me to Jill.
I'm excited for the creative journey we are embarking on.
