PHOTO

As a photographic art director, my role centers on commercial lifestyle and product photography across brand launches, campaigns, and image libraries. Images are conceived as a visual system, supporting print, digital, social, and motion-based use.

Depending on the project, I served as lead photographer, second shooter, or collaborated alongside photographers and videographers. I consistently led shot list creation, digitech capture, lighting design and capture, and post-production through final delivery, including color and retouching. The result is photography informed by the full lifecycle—how images are conceived, produced, and ultimately used in real commercial contexts.

TRAVEL

PHOTOGRAPHY

My love for photography came from family travels. I was born in Hawaii and grew up living across two countries and four states. Being exposed early to different places, cultures, and histories nurtured a lasting curiosity and a fascination with capturing the places I visited. Travel photography became a constant practice that honed my eye, informed my approach to storytelling, and ultimately shaped me into the photographic art director I am today.
