My retouching career started as an internship in 2001 in a prominent New York City studio. I quickly evolved into a high-end retoucher and have worked on campaigns for Estee Lauder, La Mer, Avon, L’Oreal, Calvin Klein, and editorials in main publications such as Elle, Bazaar, Marie Claire, W Magazine, Vogue, Madame Figaro etc. Since 2008 I have been living and working around the globe (NYC, Los Angeles, Bali). I work with passion and love for the craft and respect for clients’ time and resources. My goal is to elevate an image or a brand to its potential without destroying what is inherently in the capture, following retouching trends toward more natural looks—while maintaining quality of skin, fabrics, and colors.
