Creative Art Director and Photographer with a passion for storytelling.
What I'm looking for
As an Art Director and Photographer with nearly a decade of experience, I have honed my skills in project management and customer journey experiences. My journey began with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from Texas State University, which laid the foundation for my artistic vision and technical expertise. I have successfully collaborated with small businesses, startups, non-profits, and larger brands to create unique content that aligns with their brand guidelines.
In my role at Javi Glz Photography, I lead the development and implementation of art direction, ensuring that every project reflects the client's vision while maintaining a high standard of quality. My experience as a Field Photographer at Intersection has further enhanced my ability to manage project requirements and deliver stunning imagery using natural light. Additionally, my time at Apple as a Genius allowed me to develop strong customer service skills, where I focused on troubleshooting and educating customers about technology.
