About Me

​

I’m a graphic designer and professional photographer who creates clear, engaging visuals that tell a story. I enjoy taking ideas, collaborating with others, and bringing everything together into a finished piece that feels intentional and complete.

​

I’m comfortable working both independently and with teams, and I focus on understanding the goal of a project so I can translate it into effective, well-designed visuals. I like problem-solving through design and finding creative ways to communicate ideas.

 

Alongside design, I photograph events, news and public affairs, portraits, ceremonies, and aviation. I’m drawn to real moments and subtle interactions that often go unnoticed, and I aim to turn them into images that feel meaningful and memorable.

 

I’m adaptable, organized, and able to deliver strong work under tight deadlines. Because I work in both photography and design, I can offer a full visual approach—from capturing moments to shaping how they’re presented.

​

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.
