About me

Accomplished winning Photo Director and Art Producer with 20 years of experience concepting and producing various content streams in the advertising, advertorial, and editorial industries with an emphasis on representation, diversity, equity, inclusion, and sustainability. I make things happen, but do so as fairly and justly as possible. It's not just what we make, but how we make it.

Production includes magazine cover stories; behind the scenes film work; digital OOH campaigns; cinemagraphs/GIFs; short form and online videos; PSAs; fine art including painting, sculpture, installation; exhibitions/talks/events; 3D and CGI builds; and more.

Highly knowledgeable in both film and digital formats and workflow, stills and motion, analog and computer based illustration, pre and post-production processes, all while keeping up with changing and evolving industry trends. 20+ years of personal experience behind the camera and in the darkroom adds to a more complex understanding of photographic methods and points of view. Services include artist research, art buying, contracts and fee negotiation, pre-production, on-set coordination, syndication, and every other possible thing big or small in between. It's about big picture AND it's about the details.

Excellent communication and organizational skills, the ability to multitask and juggle several projects simultaneously while managing a team and delegating responsibilities, and positive collaborations with creatives and managing directors. Vast network of artists ranging from A-List to emerging; including photographers, illustrators, 3D/CGI/Retouchers, wardrobe/prop/food/hair/make-up stylists, reps, and other related production crew. Highly resourceful in research, negotiation, and production, from concept to completion.

Awards include The Society of Publication Design, D&AD, American Photography, PDN, and Women in Photography. Member of Green the Bid's advisory board.
