About

Product Designer, Photographer and Content Creator I’m a visual storyteller with twenty years of experience making food, products, and brands distinct and engaging, first through photography, and now through digital design and content creation. My background as a professional photographer has sharpened my eye for aesthetics, audience and visual storytelling, skills I now apply to designing intuitive, user-centered digital experiences. After completing a focused UX/UI course, I’ve built a portfolio that includes two fully designed digital products, blending my desire to fully understand the problem with a view to solving it! Currently, I work as a content creator, producing photos and videos for food brands while continuing to grow my design skills. What drives me is the question, “Who is your audience?” whether I’m ideating with an art director, crafting user research, or creating attention grabbing content (with a side of humor). I’m at home in creative, collaborative environments where visuals and user experience are valued. I’m especially interested in the food, health, and creative industries, where I can leverage and connect my unique blend of skills and experience. Why connect with me? Looking for a content or design generalist with a broad skillset across multiple fields, looking to solve problems in both digital and visual spaces. You’re looking for a designer who understands both the art of visual storytelling and the science of user experience. Looking for someone with great experience in food visuals. Skills at a glance: Product Design (Figma, user flows, wireframing, prototyping) Photography (food, portraits, interiors, studio) Content Creation (Short form video, Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, Instagram) I’m actively seeking opportunities in UX and UI design, photography, and content creation, especially with brands that value their audience and strive for thoughtful, well crafted visual solutions.
