Experience & Impact

Trusted by architects, brands, and creative directors.

I’ve been working in high-end retouching for over seven years, collaborating with world-class photographers and design firms on projects ranging from interiors and corporate headquarters to large-scale cultural and educational spaces. My specialty is architectural retouching—balancing technical precision with a sensitivity to atmosphere, light, and the intent behind each design.

Before moving into freelancing, I worked in-house for a commercial photographer, where I handled everything from product and lifestyle imagery to architecture. That early experience gave me a foundation in speed and adaptability, while also teaching me how to think beyond the screen—understanding what clients actually need, not just what they ask for.

What sets my work apart is perspective. Retouching isn’t just about cleaning up lines or fixing color; it’s about translating spaces into images that feel true. I bring more than technical skill—I bring a lived-in eye shaped by years of working closely with architects, creatives, and photographers who care deeply about the final image. My role is to take that vision, refine it, and deliver work that not only looks flawless but resonates with the people who see it.
