    With a background in fashion, graphic design, 3D modeling and film photography, I create compelling visual content that revitalizes brand identities. My diverse taste allows me to resonate with a wide range of projects and brands, bringing excitement and creativity to each one. I have years of fashion design and styling under my belt, working for major companies such as Nordstrom and Target. Because of this, I've developed proficient skills in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, and am well-versed in the pre-production process. I can create detailed, accurate and comprehensive tech packs that include flat sketches, POMs, bill of materials, cost sheets and colorways. I can also create entire cohesive fashion collections from a client's inspiration and concepts, or through trend research. From fashion design, I naturally ventured into graphic design and branding, and practiced it in a sustainable medical wear company founded by myself and my family. I developed its brand image: ultra-modern, thin lines, cool toned, with a hint of futurism. I also have a strong passion for film photography, and have integrated my own work with graphics I've created for several personal projects such as my 3D fashion doll renderings and my independent film studio idea. Through my work, you'll notice my harmonious sense of color and strong understanding for graphic design principals.
