ABOUT

Anxiety Disorder is an invisible villain that affects the lives of 40 million Americans. It’s the most common mental illness in the US in yet there is no cure. Inspired by the high anxiety I experienced while working in corporate america, I’m passionate about telling a story about what it feels like to go toe-to-toe with the voice inside your head. Genesis X explores the dark reality that there is no escape from our inner demons and that we must embrace them in order to claim agency over our lives.
