I've completed years of freelance projects retouching architecture and product images for companies such as 544 Media, E.L.F. and others. I've also worked as an architectural photographer's assistant, which allowed me to travel to help shoot the interiors of many fortune 500 companies, including Facebook, Yelp, Twitter, Uber, AirBnB, GE Calgary, Beats By DRE and more.

During my time as an In-house Product Retoucher for Sephora, I worked cross-functionally with Creative, Marketing, Merchandising and Production teams to ensure quality digital assets were completed on schedule, to help execute editorial visions, and to resolve Business Critical requests as they arose. On a daily basis, I edited several dozen images that were shot in-house to company standards and oversaw the file management and Q/A of hundreds of images to be uploaded and published on the e-commerce website.

When I worked at Adolph Gassers, a Professional Video and Photography Equipment Rental House, I rented lighting and photography equipment to industry professionals, students, and amateurs. I often advised renters on use of new equipment, and recommended different lighting and camera options. I also managed, organized and maintained rental inventory.

At the Akaku public access television station, I rented video equipment to content producers and provided training on the use of camera and lights in the studio, and live-to-tape editing. I produced, directed and edited bi-weekly live-to-tape, studio productions (Speak out & PSA Day).
