I'm a freelance art director and photo editor with a background in fine art and photography. While completing my Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art, I worked for a ceramics studio and local wedding photographers in South Florida. It was a fun time to learn about different artistic fields and build skills in a variety of areas. After graduating, I continued in photography, both actively shooting weddings and portraits, and learning the ins and outs of photo editing. From there I worked for a few local real estate and lifestyle magazines, building my graphic design portfolio and learning about print design, while still utilizing my photo retouching background. Since 2015 I've been on my own, working as an art director and image editor with magazines, real estate agents, wedding photographers, and small businesses, both in house and remotely. Currently based in the Los Angeles area.
