As a seasoned Photo Director, I have a proven track record of leading visual teams at prominent publications, including Siempre Mujer, Parents, Health, Real Simple, and Texas Monthly.
I am passionate about creating fresh, trend-setting visuals, overseeing the entire process from initial concept development and talent procurement to on-location and studio art direction. I excel at merging creative vision with strategic business objectives to significantly deepen audience engagement.
My expertise includes directing covers and features, coordinating intricate shoots with celebrity PR, and traveling nationally and internationally to bring compelling stories to life. My work has been honored by prestigious organizations such as The Society of Publication Designers, The Art Directors Club, AI-AP, 3x3, and The Society Of Illustrators.
In addition to my professional work, I am dedicated to sharing my knowledge as a visiting instructor at Pratt Institute, The Fashion Institute of Technology, and The School of Visual Arts. I am also deeply involved in the industry's professional community, having served as the former Vice President of The Society of Publication Designers (SPD) and currently serving on the Board of Directors of The Society of Illustrators.
Fun fact: I am also a New York Times best-selling illustrator.
