Harrison Slater Van Pelt grew up surrounded by arts and creativity. With a father who handmade pasta as a chef in Milan and walked runway at fashion shows in Tokyo, to grandparents who traveled the world on photography assignments, and a mother who designed and coordinated world-class events, his upbringing provided exposure to the most profound and diverse forms of artistic expression. Weekly excursions to La Paz and volunteer trips to Madagascar further solidified his passions towards travel and philanthropy. These experiences nurtured a burning desire to seize available opportunities and authentically capture and share the beauty of the world.
