As a associate art director at Hour Media, I direct teams of photographers, stylists, and other talent to ensure high-end images while also designing unique layouts to enhance the appeal of each story. Working closely with the creative director I budget, communicate and schedule all parties involved in the creation of editorial content, while also managing / organizing files for outside teams to seamlessly utilize in outside platforms. I have successfully completed multiple projects for various magazines, such as Hour Detroit, Detroit Design, and Metro Detroit Weddings, utilizing my creative and collaborative skills.I have a BFA in Advertising Design from College for Creative Studies, where I developed my passion for print and editorial fashion photography. I also have over six years of experience as a photography assistant and digital tech, where I assisted photographers on set with lighting design, studio setup, and post-production work. Additionally, I have been a freelance designer and photographer since 2015, creating custom logos, paintings, and drawings, as well as managing and executing photo shoots ranging from fashion editorials to senior portraits. I am always eager to learn new skills and techniques while exploring new ways of expressing my artistic vision.
