As a creative entrepreneur, I specialize in photography, visual storytelling, and social media content creation—combining strategic insight with a strong narrative approach to help brands connect with their audience in meaningful ways. With over 12 years in digital marketing and more than a decade of experience as both a restaurateur and photographer, I bring a business-savvy perspective to every project. I understand what drives engagement, but also what moves people. For me, effective content isn’t just about visuals—it’s about emotion, authenticity, and storytelling. From concept to final edit, I create with purpose, crafting imagery that resonates, inspires, and aligns with your brand’s vision.
My journey began in San Francisco's vibrant culinary scene, where I scaled a successful restaurant brand to five locations and founded a social media marketing and photography agency. I've worked with Michelin-starred brands like Saison, Atelier Crenn, and Michael Mina, and partnered with celebrity restaurant owner Ayesha Curry. I’ve also created fun product photography campaigns for national food brand Clif Bar.
Born in London and raised across Germany, New York, California, and the Philippines, my multicultural background shapes the way I see the world. Now based in Haute-Savoie, France with my husband and our dog, London, I continue to explore new cultures and cuisines—sharing everyday moments of life in Europe through travel, food, and local culture on Instagram and YouTube.
Photography, for me, is about connection—linking stories with people, moments with memories, and brands with their audience. It’s about seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary and sharing that perspective.
