Philip T - $1,500/month

Hi hi!

My name is Philip. I'm a San Diego native who has never lived anywhere else but SD. I've been a full-time freelance photographer since 2017 and absolutely love what I do! I'm currently here on this website just to see what's out there in NYC — I'm anticipating a move in spring 2025. I have my eyes on Brooklyn, but I'm open to seeing what's out there.

I'm ideally looking for a room/roommate(s) who are clean and enjoys having a space that feels warm and welcoming. I love me a cozy home! I'm a big sucker for natural light and love places that are flooded with it. Being on the same page as my roommate(s) is key, so active communication is a must. I'm not a big fan of a drama in my own life, it's more of a spectator sport for me it hahah. All in all, mutual respect is huge.

When I'm not out on photo gigs, I am primarily working from home. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my dog, running, street photography, exploring the town (coffee shops and bookstores especially) and connecting with others in the creative field.

My 4 yr old pup Lucy will be coming with me, so ideally would love to find a roommate that enjoys having a pet around. She can be a bit timid and shy at first depending on the person, but overall she is super sweet, well behaved, potty-trained and doesn't chew on anything unless it's her favorite toy. She's super easy and pretty much chills all day! She's my velcro dog, and yes, i birthed her. Out of my own body.

Budget-wise, I set it at $1500, but I can be a little bit flexible depending on what's offered.

Things I currently own & use, and would love to bring with me (and would be happy to share): Breville Barista Pro Espresso Machine, Fellow Grinder/Pourover Coffee setup, Nutribullet for da smooooothies. Maybe my Air Fryer too but I know NYC kitchens can be super limited on counter space 😭

One other thing to note: taylor swift, ariana grande, olivia rodrigo, billie eilish -- just to name a few 💙💙
