Visual direction, editorial instinct, and luxury storytelling.
My career spans media, publishing, public relations, and luxury retail, with a constant focus on shaping how brands are perceived, felt, and understood. I’m especially interested in how brands are experienced visually, and the resonance that can be cultivated intimately with an audience through overall image and message.
I began in editorial and journalism, where storytelling, pacing, and clarity were essential. Working within independent digital magazines and lifestyle media taught me how to think in sequence with respect to an audience's attention and make authentic creative decisions accordingly. That grounded foundation continues to inform my visual work.
As my early career shifted brand-side, visual execution became central. Across fashion and jewelry, I’ve led and contributed to content development, social media strategy, photography, copywriting, and creative direction, often within small teams where direction and judgment mattered. I’ve worked closely with designers, photographers, marketers, and brand partners, learning when collaboration empowers the work and when a singular point of view is needed.
Most recently, my focus has been set on luxury jewelry and watches, where restraint, consistency, and precision are essential. I was responsible for managing and executing social content for flagship brand partners, including Rolex (Certified Pre-Owned), Patek Philippe, Cartier, Tudor, David Yurman, and Mikimoto, working within strict global guidelines governing imagery, cadence, approvals, and usage rights.
Alongside these prestige houses, I photographed and presented fine jewelry from contemporary designers such as Bayco, Rahaminov Diamonds, Pasquale Bruni, Marco Bicego, Anita Ko, Fernando Jorge, Harwell Godfrey, Zydo, Emily P. Wheeler, Azlee, Sorellina, Tate, and Suzy Landa, translating in-store product into cohesive, editorial digital storytelling within a luxury retail environment. Across all work, the priority was maintaining brand integrity while creating imagery that felt modern, intentional, and aligned with each partner’s visual standards.
My work is driven by instinct, disciplined editing, and an editorial eye. What matters most is judgment, knowing what to refine, what to protect, and how to maintain a consistent visual standard across every decision.
I’m available for creative direction, visual storytelling, brand content, and editorial work within the luxury space.
