  • Since 2007, I have been involved in many retouching projects. Whether it is creative retouching or post-production image editing — I offer many skills and experiences that have proven successful and consistent in project delivery.

    Experienced in retouching for:
    Advertising, product, fashion, beauty, lifestyle, food, catalog, architecture / interior and e-commerce,

  • I began my career as a graphic designer and production artist, eventually focusing in production services. Early on, it became clear from my aptitude with creative applications and technical procedures: I excelled in fine tuning design campaigns into high quality deliverables for print and digital. Though I refocused my career in 2007 to focus more on photo retouching, I have continued to take on production projects throughout my career - even incorporating these techniques into all parts of my career.

    My capabilities in production services include:
    Print and digital production, asset creation, color calibration services, digital asset management and workflow development

  • When I started my career, my focus and education was in graphic design. I specialized in advertising layout and identity design and typography within much of the first 5 years of my career. Though I found more footing within production workflows, I have produced many identity designs over my career, and maintain a keen interest in well designed campaigns and identity designs.

    My experience in design includes experience in the following:
    Branding and identity, typography, packaging, advertising and editorial layout design

  • I have always been a photographer at heart. I chose a career focused more on commercial design and photography, but the core of my creative inspirations remains with photography.

    My images have been shown throughout the US and EU, and there are plans to provide my imagery for sale on this site (in the near future).

    In commercial photoshoots, I am can offer digital-tech services. Having worked with many photographers and photo studios during my retouching career, I gained experience providing tethering, color management, file ingestion and archiving services.

    My experience on commercial shoots includes the following:
    Digital tech, on-set retouching and photo assistanting
