From concept through delivery, I lead creative strategy and produce multimedia narratives that bridge purpose, audience, and impact - whether for fundraising, advocacy, or community engagement.

Corporate Event Photography
I photograph conferences, summits, expos and special events with an eye for storytelling - not just documentation.
My goal is to capture the energy, ideas, and human moments that define your gatherings, giving you imagery that feels alive and ready to share across platforms.
Personal Branding Coaching & Consulting
I help creatives, professionals, and scholars develop confidence in their personal brand storytelling - online, on camera, mic, or stage.
I also provide tailored support and accountability to help clients complete creative or academic projects - from short films and capstones to online courses meant for up-skilling and dissertations.
