ABOUT

 

"Adobe is my blood type and deadlines are my mantra."

 

Employed in the industry since 1996 I bring experience and wisdom to any project. I'm always looking for new challenges and am still excited about this business. Concept through application is my favorite kind of project. I have the innate ability to lead a team, and am just as comfortable sitting shot-gun.

​

Throughout the years I've worked with commercial photography studios (I basically grew up in them), advertising agencies, and fashion retailers. I've been employed at GNC photo studio; the vintage inspired, e-retailor, ModCloth, as the Retouching Manger; Javo Studios, managing large scale catalogs for Leed's and campaigns for rue21; Y&R Advertising Agency, whose client list included Jaguar, Lincoln, Sony, Mattel and Hilton Hotels; as well as 24th St Studios, working with Ralph's Grocery, Albertson's and Petsmart. I know my way around the office and the studio, which means, I work efficiently in a cube and know to look out for booms overhead and cords on the floor.

​

I'm a world traveler, an audiophile of all genres, am inspired by visiting museums as well as reading fashion and fitness magazines. Staying active keeps me (mostly) sane, I live for hiking, yoga, and meditation; enjoy biking, skiing, camping, climbing and anything that involves the great outdoors. I like to have fun, yet am a serious professional at heart. Enjoying a multitude of activities keeps me balanced in my career and helps inspire my creative expression.

​

My specialties include retouching, pre-press, design, photography, concept, project and asset management.

​

I'm an expert in Photoshop and very proficient with InDesign, Illustrator, After Effects, Premier, Acrobat, Filemaker, Excel, Power Point, Basecamp and Workfront.

​

Currently, I am located in Pittsburgh, PA and available for remote opportunities.
