hello!

Everything is a story.

I’ve been creating for as long as I can remember. Writing, drawing, painting, photographing, and building visual worlds came long before I had language for design. Alongside my creative work, I maintain a parallel career in the medical field in ophthalmology, a dual path that has shaped how I see, listen, and work with people.

At the core of my practice is storytelling. I’m drawn to understanding what sits beneath the surface. Whether I’m working with a client, a subject, or a concept, I start by digging into the root of what needs to be said. Once the story is clear, the visual direction reveals itself.

Photography became a natural extension of that process through years of travel and close attention to human [and nature] experience. That path led me into commercial production, where I worked as Studio Manager for a San Francisco–based commercial studio. In that role, I supported large-scale productions for clients such as Vanity Fair, eBay, and Pottery Barn, to name a few, coordinating studio logistics, prop, location, and talent scouting, while working closely with producers, photographers, and directors to ensure each shoot ran smoothly.

I later worked for a commercial photographer, traveling nationwide for hospitality shoots across major hotel brands involving shot lists, set readiness, lighting assist, food styling, talent sourcing, and the many quiet decisions that allow strong imagery to come together.

To deepen my craft, I pursued an education in graphic design. Now, I work across graphic design, photography, illustration, painting, video, moving fluidly between disciplines depending on what a project calls for. My creative direction lives most fully in my own work and design projects.

I deeply value working with authentic people on meaningful projects. Let’s create together!
