Senior retoucher and production director with 24 years of experience delivering high-craft visual work for commercial, architectural, and brand clients. I specialize in color grading, high-end retouching, DAM, and pipeline design, and I have led teams across 100+ projects a year with a consistent track record of clean delivery on tight timelines. I can step into a project at almost any stage and add value. Need a retoucher who can own a complex composite or handle a large batch with consistent results? I do that. Need someone to build a workflow, manage a team, or oversee a shoot from pre-production through final delivery? I have done that too, including directing multi-location productions globally. I am also actively using AI-assisted workflows with Midjourney, Higgsfield, Runway, and Stable Diffusion for clients who want faster turnaround without sacrificing quality. I work fast, communicate clearly, and treat every project like my name is on it, because it is. If you need someone reliable who delivers what they promise, let's talk.…Senior retoucher and production director with 24 years of experience delivering high-craft visual work for commercial, architectural, and brand clients.
