About

With a BFA in Photography from RISD, I began my career as Studio Manager for celebrity portrait photographer Timothy White, working in his New York and LA offices. My Fine Art training brings a lush, cinematic sensibility to my work in the commercial world.

A regular at NYFW, my behind-the-scenes imagery of celebrities, fashion shows and brand events has been featured in Allure, Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. I received my MFA in Visual Communication Design from RIT in 2020, focusing on Interaction Design & Content Creation.

I am currently working as a Multimedia Designer at CHANEL with the Style Expertise, HR & Art Departments. This fall I will be returning to Doane University (remotely) to teach a Content Design Course.
