ART DIRECTION & PHOTOGRAPHY

When content is at the center of a brand experience, it’s easy to build engaging and memorable campaigns and stories. Working closely with my partners over the last decade, I’ve created a collaborative process to make any creative vision real. With academic roots in Visual Arts, I apply my strengths in composition and emotive color palettes to art direct website and social media visual content for discerning brands like ILIA Beauty, Bailey Nelson Eyewear, and Pyrrha Jewelry.

PROP STYLING

As a prop and photo stylist or, more precisely, a tinkerer with an affection for surprise and symmetry, I strive to balance delightful relatability with earthy textures. My work reflects an obsession with how lifestyles connect to objects and textiles, and will always tend to layer products with human elements—like a juicy donut or a familiar mug of mint tea.

MOTION

Motion has emotion at its core. By bringing bright, positive, and relatable moments to product narratives or stop-motion stories, my aim is to engage communities on a deeper level—beyond a product or revenue goal.
