OBJECTIVE

I am an arst that produces visual concepts. I am also an arst who can bring these concepts to life. I currently do this as a producer, organizing photoshoots, videos and shows for brands, websites, editorial plaorms, and independent arsts. In addion to thinking creavely, I am extremely passionate about following through to make sure those concepts are represented in every part of the final, physical creaon. I am inspired by poetry, and I feel as if one looks deep enough, theenough, there is poetry in everything. Poetry lies in the way one walks, dreams, creates, learns and teaches; it exists in every fathomable facet of human existence. I show my perspecve of the poetry that goes on in my life through visual concept producon.
