ABOUT ME
I am a New York based digital and branding creator with an extensive career working with top brands such as Time, Glamour, Macy's, J.Crew and Uniqlo. I have strived to keep myself professionally relevant and versatile through my strong passions for imagery, design, and creating user-centered interfaces that help engage people in their everyday lives.
Being a life-long student and enthusiast of branding, I have always had a passion for anything that combines simplicity, beauty, and functionality. I was able to discover those exact qualities across many different platforms including UI Design, Photo Retouching & Production. The challenges of creating, enhancing and spotlighting subjects in an intuitive, engaging, and efficient manner are what drives and motivates me.
