Occupation: Designer & Photographer
Location: Based out of Seattle, Washington

When people ask me the question, “what do you want to be”, I can’t seem to answer it with just one definite thing. My interests in design, photography and music are so deep that to pick just one and live with it would be impossible. That is part of the reason I started this blog. I wanted to put all of my interests out on the table.

What is Wanken?

Wanken began as the name for my brother’s video production ventures as a kid while growing up in Idaho. We started off shooting bmx videos to try to get sponsored. Eventually that died away and I became interested in starting a clothing company. For a few years I tried to run that, but if you’ve tried running a clothing company, you’d know just how difficult it is. After some time doing that while in highschool, I began to find interest in building websites and was soon hired for freelance gigs on small projects. One of which was Bikecar; still to this day a favorite. A few years later Wanken has become the moniker that I blog and freelance under.

Of course there has been speculation on whether or not Wanken is a good name, being that the words definition changes from culture to culture. In some cases not so positive, but I’m out to change that. I’ve come to conclude that, besides it being a large part of my life, the name is quite unique.

Putting that aside, Wanken is my portfolio of work and blog that I highly curate for quality content—things that are inspirational to me, that I hope you will enjoy.
