With over 15 years of experience, my expertise is in integrated creative content production, project management and operations. I have a strong design eye, keen attention to detail and versatility in scope and subject.

I spent the first decade of my career in non-profit social service operations and program development before switching my focus to creative industries. My first creative production from inception to delivery was ‘The Sari Series’ with Bangalore-based creative agency Border&Fall, a fashion-forward documentation of India's regional sari drapes through over 80 short films screened worldwide and featured at MoMA.

Since then, I have worked primarily in beauty, fashion and wellness executing multi-channel branded campaigns, photo and video shoots and creative operations with corporate brands such as Estée Lauder and Tatcha; startups such as Vegamour and Parallel; and slow fashion brands and creative agencies such as Anaak and Border&Fall. Additionally, I was the lead producer of'This Little Light', a music education podcast hosted by Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

On a personal level, I express my refined design language through photography and interior design projects. I also organize and share my visual vocabulary and archive through photo books, Instagram and Pinterest, the latter of which receives over two million organic, unique impressions each month. I seek beauty wherever I go and am based in Los Angeles. CV available upon request.
