I’m a London-trained BA (Hons) photographer and a hospitality entrepreneur based in Venice, bringing a creative eye to visual storytelling and strong people skills from working in an international restaurant environment. Alongside my photography background, I’ve developed experience in customer relations, service coordination, and business-minded day-to-day management, with a focus on delivering polished results for diverse clients. I also build content as a social media professional, creating high-quality posts and strategies for a cosmetics service business. Fluent in Italian and Arabic, and highly proficient in English with very good Spanish and good French, I enjoy collaborating with clients, translating ideas across languages, and adapting quickly to new briefs—whether that’s shooting weddings and product work or planning engaging social campaigns.
