Statement.

Through lens based and sculptural art and design, I have explored my creative interests in both the commercial and fine art fields. My work as a photographer has led me to analyze who I am as an individual by evaluating my truths and who I am at my core. Highly edited and manipulated photographic styles give me the resources to showcase the skills I have acquired from studying in the art field. This detail-oriented approach allows me to carefully shape what I present, pushing my work beyond the ordinary.

In my commercial work, I use these strengths to accurately capture and convey a client’s vision. My expertise in image manipulation and compositing provides a versatile toolkit, enabling me to create impactful visuals that align with their goals.

Within the field of design, I combine artistic expertise with collaborative problem-solving to create work that is visually compelling yet intentionally minimalistic, enabling each element to stand out. Whether working in fine art or commercial design, I prioritize the ability to discern when to embrace complexity and when simplicity is the most powerful approach.

Ultimately, attention to detail guides all aspects of my work, driving both my creative exploration and professional projects.
