About Me.
-
I craft bold brand identities, emotionally intelligent campaigns, and full-funnel marketing strategies that speak to real people. From DTC to event tech, Iβve led creative direction, growth strategy, content systems, paid media, and community-driven launches. I make brands feel like they belong to someone.
-
I design across mediumsβbranding, packaging, UX, print, apparel, and motionβwith a deep focus on storytelling and inclusivity. My design philosophy blends clean aesthetics with emotional resonance, so what you see also makes you feel something. Minimal when needed. Loud when it matters.
-
I capture real, raw, human momentsβon stage, in community, or behind the scenes. Whether Iβm building a brandβs image library or documenting connection at a live event, I use photography to create visual trust. I shoot with intention, emotion, and clarity so every frame feels like a memory you didnβt know you needed.
-
From pop-up activations to multi-day shows, I create intentional, inclusive spaces that make people feel safe, welcome, and inspired. I manage logistics, programming, team ops, and visual designβalways with an eye on community-building, emotional care, and impact that lasts beyond the event.
-
I donβt just found companiesβI build ecosystems. From concept to product, launch to growth, I lead with vision and execute with soul. Iβve scaled eComm to $4M+, built platforms from scratch, and turned lived experience into leadership. Every venture I touch is rooted in justice, creativity, and human connection.
What I Do.
Photography
Photography, for me, isnβt just about capturing whatβs in front of the lens. Itβs about honoring whatβs underneath. I photograph people, places, and performances in their most human moments: raw, joyful, complicated, honest. From branded content to quiet portraits, my work is rooted in trust, instinct, and emotional precision. Every frame is a conversation. Every shot is a chance to say, βYou belong here.β
Marketing
I donβt just market brands. I help them find their voice, their people, and their purpose. From DTC to event tech, Iβve built campaigns that have driven $4M+ in sales, 150K+ community growth, and six-figure subscriber lists. My marketing approach blends emotional intelligence with data, storytelling with strategy. Whether Iβm writing a launch script, mapping out a retention flow, or leading a multi-channel rollout, I craft narratives that connect, convert, and build trust that lasts.
Design
To me, design is more than visualsβitβs language. I use shape, space, color, and rhythm to translate ideas into something people can feel. Whether Iβm building a full brand identity, designing a campaign, or creating wearable messages, my process is led by intention and informed by emotion. Every piece I make has a job to do: reflect the brandβs soul, speak to the right people, and leave a lasting imprint.
Miss Universe
In 2023, I was invited to produce a short film for Miss Universe, which premiered during the global competition and reached an audience of over 6 million people. The video, titled βToday,β centered around identity, empowerment, and the strength of vulnerability, told through a lens of emotional depth and visual minimalism. It was more than a segmentβit was a statement. A call to be fully yourself, today and every day.
News & PR
Iβve been featured in interviews, panels, and publications that explore the intersection of creativity, queerness, entrepreneurship, and emotional connection. These conversations dive into what drives my work: building brands that heal, storytelling that resonates, and communities that feel like home.
