Summary
I am an artist, photographer, and designer. I have a keen understanding of visual qualities: light, shape, color, forum, composition and how they influence people. I use these visual qualities in my fine arts practice to share my stories. Within in my photography practice I compose the world around me. When I work with clients on their creative projects I use the same abilities to help bring their ideas to life.
