I grew up creating art and my passion eventually led me to acquiring a BA in Graphic Design and an MFA in Painting. 

I'm a seasoned Digital Content Specialist and Photo Retouching expert with 10 years of experience in retail and eCommerce. I have a passion for designing beautiful visuals, and I love the meticulous nature of photo retouching and digital manipulation.
I’m an expert in designing ads and marketing assets for eCommerce, and I’ve also held retouching positions for some of the leading fashion companies in New York City.
I’m currently open to part-time freelance retouching and digital design positions.

In addition to Retouching and Photo Compositing/Design, I also have notable experience in Product Photography and Art Direction.

I also have side hobbies that involve landscape photography and video. Click the links to check them out.

Photo Compositing and Retouching for eCommerce.

One of the many things I do with product shots for eCommerce. Whether it’s men’s watches, women’s bags or shoes, children’s toys or fine jewelry, I take individual shots and compose them onto either a real or digitally created background, and I make this web editorial look as if it was produced in a real photo studio.
