As a kid I was constantly trying to create my own clothing line, sketching ideas and sewing pieces together at home. While I wasn't able to achieve the volume of pieces my 10-year-old brain envisioned, each sample was passionately crafted with love and optimism. That curiosity stuck with me and still shapes how I approach projects now.

Along the way, I graduated with a B.S. in Neuroscience from Emory University. Although I found it fascinating learning why we think the way we do, I knew in my heart scientific research wasn't the path for me. Shortly after graduating, I found myself solely applying for positions in the creative sector. All that pent up creative energy, finally bubbling to the surface.

I began working in studio environments surrounded by images, products, and people all working toward the same finished result. Over time I realized I was paying less attention to the camera and more to everything around it: how the set was organized, what prep had gone into the day, and why some shoots ran smoothly while others didn't. I started gravitating toward the production side naturally, because that's where I felt most useful and most engaged.

That's where my analytical side shows up more than people expect. I like understanding how a production is structured, identifying what isn't working yet, and making the adjustments that keep things moving. The organizational work isn't something I do in spite of being creative. It's how I express it.

I've spent the last few years building that foundation across apparel, lifestyle, and outdoor brands, and I'm not done yet.
