How would you describe what you do?
I’m a creative chameleon, flipping between roles as a visual storyteller, content creator, and strategist. I craft stories through photos, videos, and design, turning ideas into eye-catching content that stops thumbs mid-scroll. Whether it's building a brand’s voice or curating the perfect social feed, I love making things that not only look good but make an impact. Basically, I help businesses shine while having a little fun along the way.
What gets you fired up?
I get fired-up when I'm surrounded by people who are buzzing with passion—whether they’re pouring their heart into their start-up, perfecting a new recipe, or passionately rating every coffee shop in town. There’s something about seeing that spark of excitement and care that gets me pumped. It’s contagious, and I’m all here for it.
What do you do in your spare time?
In my spare time, I’m usually baking a new recipe I found on TikTok or Pinterest while listening to an audiobook—it's my ultimate combo of relaxation and creativity. Right now, I'm loving Ina Garten's memoir.
