Available to hire
Brooklyn-based fashion & editorial photographer working since 2019, with work featured in Vogue Italia. Beyond the camera, I bring a multidisciplinary creative practice — as an Art Director, 3D artist, and consultant — shaped by founding two brands (a 3D-printed jewelry line and a vinyl toy company) and years mentoring art students through portfolio development. RISD-trained, detail-obsessed in post-production, and quick to adapt across formats — from lookbooks and campaigns to 3D scanning and AR/VR archiving.
