How I Got Here

​

Hi, I’m Brando! I’m an artist, climber, and photographer—three worlds that constantly challenge, inspire, and shape how I see.

I started climbing over a decade ago, drawn in by the movement, the community, and the puzzle-solving mindset. That same curiosity and discipline spills into my art. Whether I’m sketching figures, building installations, or framing a photograph, I’m chasing that feeling of flow—the moment when everything clicks.

Art has been with me since I was a kid (yes, I was that 6-year-old drawing myself as an artist with a beret). It’s how I process the world and communicate things words can't touch. My photography is an extension of that: candid, vibrant, and honest. I love capturing motion, emotion, and all the little moments people might otherwise miss.

This site is a collection of the ways I climb, create, and connect. Thanks for being here.
