About Me
I’m a motivated and detail-oriented creative professional with a strong background in photo production, styling, and art direction.
With hands-on experience in both boutique brands and large-scale retail environments, I bring a versatile perspective and a deep understanding of what makes visual storytelling effective.
Whether I’m directing a shoot, curating a concept, or collaborating across teams, I thrive in spaces where creativity leads and innovation is valued.
My goal is always to contribute meaningful, impactful work that aligns with brand goals and connects with audiences.
Above all, I’m passionate about creating visually compelling experiences—and doing so with purpose, precision, and a positive attitude.
