## About

I'm a food stylist and photographer and content creator working with food and beverage brands, restaurants, marketing and editorial teams to create visual content that stops people mid-scroll. I handle everything from recipe development to final photos and videos, so marketing teams get polished, on-brand food content without managing multiple vendors or production crews.

Most brands underestimate how much food styling and photography details actually drive engagement—the right plate angle, garnish, or lighting can completely change how appetizing something looks. I approach each project thinking about what actually performs on social and print, combining technical photography skills with a real understanding of what makes food look irresistible to your audience.
