About Me
About Me
About Me
I'm a multi-disciplinary, life-long creative bringing captivating stories to life through visual mediums. Over the past 15 years, I’ve built visual identities from scratch, led rebrands that redefined entire markets, led campaigns, captured intimate celebrity portraits, produced films, and designed workflows that allowed teams to scale exponentially without sacrificing quality.
As the creative centerpiece to every team I join, my career has been a fulfilling mix of hands-on creation and big-picture strategy. Whether it’s capturing the perfect shot, crafting immersive 3D environments, or directing large-scale creative projects, I thrive in spaces where creativity meets execution.
Beyond the titles and tools, I’m someone who genuinely loves the process. I’m always exploring new techniques, experimenting with emerging tech, and finding ways to push creative boundaries. Creativity isn’t just my job—it’s my default setting.
Right now, I’m looking for my next challenge: leading innovative projects, shaping unforgettable brand identities, and building teams that deliver work that’s sharp, impactful, and impossible to ignore.

Meshpix
Meshpix is a photo agency with a simple goal: democratizing high-end product photography and 3D visualization for modern startups and solopreneurs. As Creative Director, I wanted to push past the limits of traditional photography and build a space where brands could get imagery that feels bigger, sharper, and smarter.
We've built a flexible 24/7 digital photo studio capable of delivering agency-level visuals without the intimidating price tag and timelines. From hyper-detailed product renders to immersive campaign imagery, I created an unbeatable creative workflow to ensure top-tier quality while remaining agile and scalable. Meshpix serves as a bridge between ambitious brands and the kind of impactful visuals usually reserved for industry giants.
