About
I’m a senior photo retoucher and digital content creator with 14+ years of experience delivering high-volume editorial, eCommerce, print, and marketing imagery for luxury and lifestyle brands. My work centers on non-destructive Photoshop workflows—advanced compositing, background removal, skin/beauty retouching, and quality control across large image sets—so the final assets stay consistent through multiple rounds of creative review.
I also bring strong color management skills to every project, handling correction, proofing, and optimization for both print (including CMYK conversion and ICC/soft-proofing) and web/digital use. I’ve collaborated directly with creative directors, art directors, designers, and production teams, and I’m comfortable using modern generative AI tools (like Adobe Firefly) when they genuinely enhance cleanup, extension, or object removal while preserving realism.
