I didn’t always know what I wanted to do, but I always knew it would be something creative.
Like most young adults, I felt a bit lost in my early twenties. To cope, I booked a ticket to Europe and spent a glorious Summer snapping photos of coastal towns and filling up on firewood pizza and wine.
Little did I know, those photographs would win me a once in a lifetime experience...
with a mega travel influencer! The next Summer I ventured out on a 10 day trip with Yacht Week to sail along the coast of Italy, alongside one of the most successful women in the travel influencer space. It was a dream come true! I soaked up every bit of creative knowledge I could from her and came back home with a mission.
I upgraded my camera, invested in editing software and began learning all I could about photography.
I didn't stop there. I expanded to my creative skillset to include:
-
Graphic Design
-
Social Media Marketing
-
Digital Strategy
-
Content Creation
-
Filmmaking
-
Sound Design
-
Drone Photography and Video
-
+ more
These days...
I’m driven by that same creative spark I discovered while sailing the Italian coastline, only now I want to create for you!
Let me know what you need and I'll do everything I can to exceed your expectations.
