About Me

​

I’m a highly skilled and creative Graphic Designer and Professional Photographer with a passion for communicating ideas through captivating visuals. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of visual storytelling, I excel at translating concepts into compelling imagery that resonates with an audience. My work requires patience, someone who gathers information and collaborates on ideas. I enjoy being the person who can bring it all together to create the finished project.  

​

I possess a strong command of design principles and software tools that enable me to create visually stunning and impactful designs. I take pride in my ability to understand the purpose of a project and translate it into an aesthetically pleasing layout that communicates the desired message. I’m successful in both working independently as well as collaborating with teams. I look forward to building on ideas for problem-solving, and use creative-thinking to find solutions.

​

In addition to graphic design, I've honed my skills in various photography genres, specifically for events, news & public affairs, but also ceremonies and portraits, as well as more specialized techniques for aviation. I notice the interactions that often go unnoticed, capturing the moments to tell a story and safeguard a memory. I strive to create images that evoke a powerful response and leave a lasting impression.

One of my strengths is versatility, adapting quickly to changing requirements and delivering high-quality results under tight deadlines. My ability to integrate photography and graphic design allows me to offer comprehensive visual solutions that effectively convey a message and captivate audiences across different platforms.

​

I've used some of my favorite pictures on this website as an introduction, they're a good representation of who I am.  I've found a way to work with many different people, in a number of very difficult (often physically challenging) situations and capture the images that best represent the moment.
