Hello hello. My name is Ernest (he/they).
I'm an art director and photographer and designer
and a maker of things and occasionally fine art.
​
I'm also a techno dj and founder of a mahjong club
and appreciator of cheese in all its forms.
​
I want to make work that's beautiful and weird with human and social impact at its core.
​
Say hello if you want me to spin a tune or make something cool together :)
