Welcome to Life We Lead, 

a multimedia initiative exploring the impact of phone addiction on our everyday lives, presence, and relationships. Through storytelling, education, and creative outreach, we aim to spark meaningful conversations and promote digital wellness.

Backstory
Last summer, I stepped away from social media for three months. Without the constant noise, my mind felt clearer and more creative than ever — though I quickly realized I was also missing important news and events. The experience taught me that quitting cold turkey isn’t realistic, but mindful engagement is powerful. That’s the message I wanted this project to carry.


Production Process
I wrote and produced the song, collaborating with Brian Stiroh on an electronic arrangement for the verses and chorus. Later, I composed and produced an outro piece that shifts from electronic to acoustic — a sonic metaphor for technology “stripping away” until only natural sounds remain.

This idea then grew into a production concept that bridges the worlds of music video, narrative film, and public service announcement. I teamed up with Christopher Ortiz as producer, and together we led a four-month production to bring that vision to life.
