Professional Experience

I have experience researching and acquiring art for web, app, eBook, and print use; sources include agencies, photographer stock, and photo assignment work. I assist design teams in the final selection and production of photo content, editing photos for publication. I have extensive experience with Adobe PhotoShop. I also maintain the daily ingestion of new photo files into digital asset management systems. I have a background in photography and fine art, and a keen eye for a great image. I can work in house or from my home office.
