About

I am a content producer, creative consultant, and fine artist based in Los Angeles with over 15 years of experience in advertising and publishing. My love for beautiful imagery and art runs deep thanks to having grown up in Rochester, NY - the hometown of Eastman Kodak. From a young age, I have always been interested in cameras and rifling through my parent's stacks of National Geographic Magazines. 

​

Since then, I have taken that passion and produced content for YouTube, Subaru, Honda, Intel, Volkswagen, Infiniti/Nissan, Mazda, Pocky, Dr Pepper, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Anthem, Uber, PlayStation, and Angel Soft. 

 

As a creative consultant, I curate websites, edit printed portfolios, develop marketing strategies, and offer career development discussions for artists. I am also an Ambassador for KOMYOON, a curated community of art and commerce professionals. I also write articles for their online channel called KO-OP. You can view the KO-OP stories on my blog as well. 

 

Prior to my career in advertising, I worked in the photo department at Essence Magazine in NYC where I produced shoots and hired artists for all sections of the Magazine. I began my professional career in public relations where I wrote press releases, developed PR plans and secured attention from top-tier media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal and NY Times for various renowned high-tech companies. You can view more details on my resumé.

When I'm not on production or editing a portfolio you can find me surfing, planning my next adventure, writing, and painting. My fine art site will be launching soon!
