Photo Art Director
I’m a photo art director focused on creating emotionally rich photography and motion for home and location shoots. My work centers on building inspiring environments—bedrooms, dining spaces, patios—and capturing the everyday rituals that make them feel lived-in and meaningful.
My creative path began at a contemporary arts center, where I supported hands-on arts programming and later led design. That experience shaped how I think about storytelling, branding, and the value of clear, purposeful design.
I currently oversee still photography, motion, set design, and culinary development. I’m hands-on throughout the production process—from shaping environments and directing talent to guiding lighting, tone, and styling. I work closely with on-set teams and cross-functional partners, including merchants, designers, and strategists, to create moments that feel inspiring and intentional.
Culinary storytelling is a core part of my work. I’ve directed food photography for everything from large-scale campaigns to packaging and recipe-driven shoots, collaborating closely with chefs, stylists, and culinary teams to ensure every detail—from plating to prop selection—feels natural, elevated, and on brand.
Outside of work, I stay connected to the more tactile side of creative—woodworking, fine cabinet-making, photographing, and gardening. That maker’s mindset shapes everything I do: thoughtful, hands-on, and always rooted in the relationship between people and place.
At the heart of my work is a belief that great creative doesn’t just look good—it feels right, inside and out. It invites people in and tells a story that resonates with how we actually live.
