my work

Since then, I’ve been working as a freelance photographer and photography assistant while learning how to market a personal brand and connect with an audience online.

  • I’m obsessed with branding and I love analyzing marketing strategies. From big brands, to mid sized ecommerce brands, to personal brands - call it a hobby.

  • I love research (I always have!)

  • I’m good at making things look nice - graphic design is another hobby of mine.

  • I’m super organized. I like to call myself a creative ‘type A’ personality.

  • I like to think outside the box
