His work—often made at sunrise, in solitude, and under dark skies—aims to capture all 63 U.S. National Parks.

Whether designing for a client, mentoring a student, or hiking with a camera in hand, Cameron brings a sharp eye, grounded presence, and deep curiosity to everything he does. He believes the best creative work lives at the intersection of purpose and play—and that design, at its core, is about making life more meaningful.
