The Basics
 
More About Me
I'm a photographer and art director living and working in Chicago. I bring energy and curiosity to all my projects whether it be shooting for a local nonprofit or a boutique fashion look book. Chicago has a fantastic art and design community and I enjoy collaborating with other talented people on everything from web design to event photography. Send me a note if you're in the market for creative collaboration!
