I’m a lead retoucher with nearly two decades of experience creating high-quality imagery for catalogs, e-commerce, and marketing. I specialize in retouching, color correction, and precise color matching across apparel, hard goods, and soft goods, with a proven ability to extend images, replace environments, and add detail to production-ready files. I’m a hands-on leader who mentors other retouchers and collaborates closely with photographers, designers, and production teams to keep projects moving on time. With my employer closing after more than 40 years in business, I’m excited to bring my creative eye and production discipline to a new opportunity.
