Includes: digital product photography for advertisements, campaigns and ai ready images

I’m a T-shaped creative, comfortable taking a campaign from concept to completion across every channel—digital, print, and video. My strength sits in connecting every part of the process, from early idea generation to the final polished output.

The vertical of my T starts with digital design and runs deep through product photography, artworking, and advanced photo retouching. That’s where the details come to life and the visuals get their final edge.

Being T-shaped means I can see the big picture while staying hands-on with the craft that brings it all together.

I can handle a wide range of creative work thanks to my 12 years at a fast-paced advertising agency in New York City (remote). During that time, I worked across multiple brands and projects, often jumping in at any campaign touchpoint. No two projects were ever the same. One day I might be creating an ad for the Wall Street Journal, and the next I’d be building a digital newsletter or retouching an image from a brand-sponsored sporting event.

Outside of work

xploring without any brand deadlines or creative restrictions. It’s my way of reconnecting with nature while keeping my creative instincts sharp. Photography gives my travels a sense of purpose. I’m not just visiting new places, I’m studying how light falls across a mountain ridge or how textures shift as the sun moves. Each outing feels like a fresh opportunity to see the world differently and capture moments that most people might walk past. Flying my drone adds another layer to that experience. Seeing the world from above changes how I think about composition, symmetry, and scale. From that perspective, landscapes transform into patterns and shapes that tell entirely new stories. It’s both creative and technical, and that balance keeps me hooked. I also find peace in the process. When I’m shooting or flying, I’m fully present. There’s no noise from daily life, just the quiet focus of capturing something meaningful. Later, during editing, I get to refine those shots and bring out the emotion that drew me to the scene in the first place. For me, photography isn’t just a hobby, it’s a way to stay curious and inspired. It encourages me to travel with intention, to explore new places, and to constantly improve my eye for detail. Every trip, every flight, and every photo reminds me why I fell in love with this craft in the first place.
