I am an Image Retoucher / Photo Editor with solid experience in high-volume image production for digital and print. I excel in Photoshop, including complex masking, color correction and matching, and compositing, using non-destructive workflows. I’m comfortable using GenAI tools to support human-led retouching workflows, and I am proficient in macOS environments and Wacom pens. I thrive under precise visual standards, manage large file sets, and contribute to efficient production pipelines. I have collaborated on manga publications, provided translation and subtitling support for audiovisual projects, and consistently deliver publication-ready images. I enjoy working remotely and collaborating with diverse teams to maintain quality and consistency across image sets.
