Available to hire
I have worked in design, photography and image editing since 1993. My work is informed by a broad education in art and design.
My photography and image-editing expertise allow me to create significant visual impact quickly and reliably. I can art-direct my own photoshoots, do any image editing, and oversee a project from concept to final production, on time and on budget. I work quickly and precisely, performing well on my own or as part of a team. I am capable, flexible and highly experienced, with an understanding of what it takes to make my clients happy and their brands successful.
