The World Around Me.

The World Around Me.

Meet the Founder

Buying a heat press in college changed my life — it helped me understand that I could create my own.

A few years later, doing door-to-door sales across NYC and listening to people's definitions of being rich, I wanted a different association with the word, something more holistic. Seeking that thing is how I'M RICH TOO was born: a way to claim richness for myself, and a path toward attaining wealth in meaningful ways. That search has led me to be relentless about making ideas and dreams real — whether through photography or consultancy, across genres that don't always talk to each other: weddings, editorial, education, and institutional productions with moving parts of their own. My work has run through Forbes, Bravo, NYC DOE, Ebony, and Travel + Leisure & more — but the credit line was never the motivation; making it real, making it exist, has always been the point, from this work to my book, Making Millions: It's No Longer a Wild, Unattainable Dream (available on Amazon).

This website is here to share the world around me through my lens: the work, the people, the privilege of making it real. Where it ends up or what it means tomorrow, I don't know — but every day I get to enjoy and explore the world around me, and it's so much more fun with people and a camera. I am looking forward to what we can make real together.

Fractional Creative Direction

Every engagement opens the same way: with a real look at what's actually happening inside your brand or organization — not a sales call, not a canned audit template. It's a Creative Diagnostic, where I assess your brand, content, and creative operations firsthand, then come back with a clear read on what's working, what's not, and what the right level of support actually looks like.

You don't have to guess which tier fits before we've even talked. The diagnostic tells us both — and it tells us something just as important: whether this is a real fit, not just a good pitch.

It's a standalone engagement — no obligation to continue. If we move forward together, it becomes the foundation for the work ahead: the beginning of making your ideas real, with someone who understands the mission, not just the brief.

  • For founders and small teams who need a steady hand, not a full team. Up to 8 hours a month. Brand advisory, content direction, and a monthly strategy call to keep things moving in the right direction.

  • For teams ready for hands-on creative leadership. Up to 20 hours a month. Fractional creative direction, content strategy, and weekly check-ins — the rhythm of having a creative director in the building, without the full-time overhead.

  • For organizations that need creative leadership fully embedded. Up to 40 hours a month. Full fractional creative director support, embedded directly in your team's workflows, cross-functional collaboration, and priority access whenever you need it.

What Clients Say

Patrick brings a strong level of clarity and intention to brand strategy. He helped me refine my vision, align my messaging, and think strategically about my launch, roadmap, and audience. His approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and impactful. I left with a clearer direction and a stronger foundation for my brand. Looking forward to continuing this process with him.

This was a one of a kind experience. Before our talk, I felt sure of who I was and what I wanted. I knew some strong points and I really wanted a path to use those gifts. After our consultation (that almost felt like therapy) Patrick was able to tell me what he saw in me and how I could expand on that gift. Mentally putting myself in that narrative felt aligned. It felt like he saw me in ways I couldn’t express. It felt as if he was the voice of the people and the delivery was so smooth that it bred real trust and conviction. I have a new lease on life and feel much more confident in my abilities and beyond. If you’re looking for guidance in your career path, this is what you need.

— A. Love

Thank you so much for this. Being able to capture moments like the two of you shared is why I love photography — creating something you'll have for a lifetime. Thank you for allowing me to document this moment for your family. Looking forward to next time.

Patrick and his team did my Bridal Shower and were FANTASTIC! The energy they brought and quality of work is truly unmatched. Many of my friends from the shower have already asked for his contact information for future events of theirs. Would definitely use Patrick again!
