My first taste of the interior design world was an internship at Gensler's San Francisco's office. After a year I switched gears, attending Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara with a focus in commercial photography & photojournalism. For years I worked exclusively in the photo world, shooting editorial, advertising, portraiture, and travel. Eventually my career shifted into photo styling for big box brands and finally came full circle when I joined JAK W in 2019.
