I am an architect-turned-photographer & content creator with a distinct edge in AEC marketing. I understand the built environment not just as a marketer, but as a trained designer. In my previous role at an architecture studio, I grew the firm's social media following fivefold within a year while simultaneously generating new business leads through organic content, a combination that speaks to both creative and strategic ability. My work has spanned the full content lifecycle: from planning and creative direction through to shooting, editing, and publishing, as well as outreach to publications and supporting new client acquisition. This end-to-end experience means I am able to work with minimal oversight and bring a level of visual and technical literacy that is rare in social media professionals. My background in architecture and photography gives me a natural fluency in how spaces are experienced and how design work should be presented, not just attractively, but credibly, to the audience who matter most. I believe this makes me uniquely positioned to manage and grow Polymath's digital presence in a way that feels authentic to the brand and resonant with its audience.
