I never expected to find myself in the world of visual art. My degree was in philosophy and I’d learned to speak Japanese while teaching Elementary and High School in Japan. With no background - but thanks to the language - I was hired to assist at a high-end still life studio in New York City. It was the most serendipitous thing I’d ever experienced, but thanks to that lucky beginning I’m still creating work that feels genuine and true to me. I love the artistry, the collaboration, and the drive to do more. If I’m not actually on set, I’m figuring out what to do next.

I have and continue to contribute to various editions of Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, L’Officiel and Vogue, and I adore teaming up with a wide range of creatives. Some of my previous projects include visuals for Laura Mercier, Christian Louboutin, Maybelline, L’Oreal, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Lancome, Maybelline, Redken, Stila, Valentino, Briogio, Jafra, Dyson, Armani, Murad, Sunday Riley, Luxottica, Covergirl, Well People/e.l.f., Target, JCPenney, Cara Cara, Elysium, Differin, Epsolay, Swarovski, Only Natural Diamonds, Pandora, and many, many more.
