What I'm looking for

I seek roles creating visual content for brands or public projects, combining creative storytelling, fast turnaround, and collaboration within teams.

I am a creative photographer with a strong sense of composition and visual storytelling, blending design and digital media to produce clear, impactful images that support branding and communications.

I have produced photography and video content for municipal projects, agencies, and freelance clients, collaborating with creative and development teams to deliver fast-turnaround visuals for websites, campaigns, and social media.

My work emphasizes composition, editing (Adobe Lightroom, Premiere Pro), and strategic visual marketing; I enjoy scripting, storyboarding, and contributing to PR and communication initiatives that highlight city development and brand identity.
