I’m a Senior Creative Retoucher Specialist with 20 years of experience in high-end digital imaging and visual production. I lead with a hands-on approach, blending craft with AI-driven workflows to boost speed, scale, and delivery consistency across motion, video, and 3D for integrated campaigns. I’ve built and led imaging and touch‑point teams within advertising agencies, introduced AI-enabled workflows, and embraced generative AI early to stay ahead. I’ve earned multiple AI certifications, received the Skills Future Study Award for lifelong learning, and collected 22 creative awards including Gold at The Gong Show, AdFest, and Goafest, with recognition from Cannes Lions, D&AD, Clios, The One Show, Spikes Asia, and London International Awards. I love mentoring cross-disciplinary teams to deliver scalable visuals that resonate globally.
