Some of my background:In March 2014, I lived in Kenya working with social enterprise Soko doing product photography and highlighting artisans and Kenyan culture.In July 2014, I moved back to San Francisco and founded my photo studio ComePlum.In 2015, I traveled to India to photograph an adoption: Kavita Bringing Her Home.

In 2017 I started a project called Ethical Weddings (www.ethical-weddings.com) that encourages couples to use their wedding day for social and environmental good and encourages wedding vendors to do the same.In 2018, I started photographing female entrepreneurs. In 2020, I started teaching workshops and consulting with female entrepreneurs on how to show up more in their business in a values-aligned way.
