My work lives at the intersection of creativity, identity, and storytelling.
For almost two decades I’ve photographed, interviewed, written about, and consulted with creative professionals across industries and stages of life. What I’ve learned is simple and profound: everyone is shaping a story, most are questioning the rules, and very few have been given the space or language to tell that story in its fullest form.
I partner with heart-centered, creatively rebellious individuals and brands who express themselves across multiple creative channels. My role is to help bring coherence to complexity: visually, contextually, and culturally so their work reflects not only what they do, but why it matters.
My perspective is informed by a layered creative life: acting in theatre and film, working both in front of and behind the camera, leading creative direction, writing, and founding a nonprofit that empowers young women to create their own media. I am a Georgia peach by way of Ghana, shaped by years of living abroad and traveling globally; each place deepening my understanding of story, place, and presence.
Whether through images, conversation, or collaboration, I am interested in how we witness ourselves, claim our becoming, and leave evidence of who we are in the world.
I speak, consult, and collaborate at the intersection of art, creativity, identity, and culture- available for keynotes, panels, podcasts, and strategic creative consulting.
Globally creating. Locally rooted in Atlanta.
