Born in 1976.Video/Photography/Interior Design.

After a career encompassing journalism, video editing and television production, I decided to pursue a life-long interest in interior design by becoming a fully qualified interior designer and establishing my own design career in Miami and Washington DC. Now established as a well-respected independent interior designer, I have covered a diverse range of design styles in both commercial and residential environments for clients in the US and abroad.

Two of my greatest passions in life are Design and travel. I believe that travel broadens one's view of the world. Experiencing other cultures, meeting people from other communities and other countries and seeing the beauty, and sometimes ugliness of the world has helped me understand that all of our lives are at once interconnected and individual. It has made me better appreciate my own home and culture as well as that of the people I've met and the lands I've seen and I have become a much more tolerant person as a result.

Through my photography and videography I seek to document scenes and events as I see them and to share with others the beauty and diversity of the world I've seen.

I have an enormous passion for capturing moments in day-to-day life that go unnoticed due to our routines. I try to freeze a snippet of the day, a gasp a look or emotion and shoot it.

My color photography depicts my love of composition that draws the eye to the interplay of light, color and shadow.

One of the techniques is to bring forward dominant textures that appeal to the eye. I also take great pleasure in staining an entire piece with a tint that depicts the mood for that specific work.

Interior Design is also a true passion, as I enjoy creating warm environments for clients, helping them make their living spaces a place to entertain and share their lives among friends and family. Creating a space that reflects their personalities and capturers their essence.
