Above all, I’m a visual maker at heart. My work is rooted in instinct, capturing raw, unfiltered moments before they become memory.. My imagery is poetic, textural and intimate — instinct-led and grounded in human connection. I document atmosphere and emotion over perfection. This also applies as i am an advertising freelance set designer, owner & creative collaborator, I’ve learned that no two days are ever alike. This takes impeccable flexibility, resourcefulness & finesse. On and off set, I’ve finetuned my techniques in collaborating and interpreting a vision that serves my clients. I’ve workshoped creative storytelling that complements a specific brand or target while keeping within budget and deadline. It’s showtime, folks! The scope of dynamics for any one of my projects requires a workhorse who can take a creative brief and run with it while still carrying an essence of playfulness with my set design team. This opens more productivity (and fun). Working on set or traveling on location with some of the top photographers & highly skilled professionals in this NYC advertising industry has elevated my naturally detailed eye for aesthetic. Developing a working rapport with a network of vendors & suppliers (which I absolutely need to pull off a job) requires finesse in thriving on personal relationships. I fit the bill. As an artist sharpening her intuitive skills, I look forward to upcoming challenges while I adapt into each new creative field.
