I was born at home in Hilo, Hawaii, lived through an all-girl boarding school and graduated from Art Center College of Design with a BFA in photography. I've been a traveler for as long as I can remember, drove an ambulance for three years on the L.A. streets, and have carried a camera since I was a little kid.

After having an awesome career as a photographer I have now moved on within the entertainment industry and am a full time art director and production designer for film and television. I believe that what I've learned and seen — in Europe, the Pacific, North and Central America and the Far East — is reflected in my design and photography. I work to connect with the subject whatever or whomever that subject might be.

My recent work includes Ahsoka for Lucasfilm/Disney+, the additional photography for such feature films as, The Call of The Wild, Morbius, Without Remorse and most recently, Eternals and Mean Girls. I continue to be inspired by every new project I begin, loving each day more than the last.
