Bio

Garrett grew up in Southern California, studied Marine Science at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, and now lives in Santa Cruz. He loves exploring new places, but finds the most rewarding moments when the conditions come together at home on the California coast.

He photographs with a surfer's eye and is drawn to the changing shapes in the ocean. His personal favorite photographs are those in black and white.

Garrett is also a multidisciplinary designer with work spanning motion design, web design, and data science. Explore more on his portfolio.
