About me

I'm a retoucher and creative based in Wellington, working across commercial, campaign, and product imagery. I don't like boxing myself into one narrow lane — every project needs something different, and I've built up a range across retouching, post-production, and design.

My approach: look at the whole image, not just the obvious fix. Light, colour, texture, balance — the goal is always something that still looks real, not overworked. I keep my workflow non-destructive, which matters when a brief changes halfway through, which it usually does.

I've worked with agencies, photographers, and brands on everything from beauty and fashion to product and lifestyle. I know the modern market well enough to understand it rewards people who can move between roles rather than wait for someone else to hand off the next step — that's how I like to work anyway.

Open to full-time roles and freelance collaboration. Always happy to talk about a project before committing either way.
