I've been photo retouching for over a decade, in addition to previous experience in graphic design and fashion illustration, enabling me to bring a nuanced depth to every project. I have a comprehensive grasp of lighting and anatomy and can handle complex briefs that require unique elements created from scratch or further embellishments.
I've delivered highest quality retouching on hundreds of ad campaigns, editorials, & e-commerce projects for leading global agencies & brands, including Burberry, Vogue, Gucci, HSBC, and L'Oréal, covering the full production lifecycle, whether on my own or as part of a team. I've developed many long-term relationships and collaborations within the industry.
In 2011, I co-founded Isolarity to provide services with a personal touch to a broad client base.
Exclusively represented by Happy Finish for 11 years, I decided to part ways (05/2020), preferring the opportunity to forge new working relationships directly with clients again.
