In my own words
— EmilAward winning creative director, and photographer with a full service design and photography studio in Torrance, CA.
I bring 25 years of design and photography experience and understanding to the action sports industry.
Aside from being a team player, I am an extremely driven story teller who loves identifying trends and solving problems on time and within budget.
Consistently, I use innovation and gain an understanding of who my audience is and how they behave. This creates pathways to the minds of todays youth, which ultimately increases sales and brand subscribers.
If you'd like some statistics on how much my process has increased several companies profits please contact me to discuss.
