Website Design, Development, & Management
As a website design, development, and management professional, I bring a well-rounded skill set shaped by roles as a Frontend Developer, Webmaster, and Freelance Web Designer. I specialize in creating responsive, accessible, and visually engaging websites that balance user experience with technical functionality. My experience spans content management systems, custom design implementation, and ongoing site maintenance, allowing me to manage projects from initial concept to long-term performance. Whether collaborating with teams or leading independent projects, I ensure websites are both effective and easy to maintain.
Content Creation & Graphic Design
I'm a content creator and graphic designer specializing in both written and visual storytelling. I develop clear, engaging copy for websites, news articles, social media posts, and newsletters, always tailored to the audience and platform. On the visual side, I design for both print and digital media—including flyers, brochures, business cards, banners, logos, and more—bringing strong branding and thoughtful composition to every project. My goal is to create cohesive, impactful content that communicates effectively and leaves a lasting impression.
Expert Photo Editing
I specialize in advanced Adobe Photoshop techniques, including precise image manipulation, high-end retouching, and seamless compositing to elevate visual storytelling. My experience ranges from creatively swapping faces and recoloring garments to removing complex objects and refining compositions. In addition to mastering traditional Photoshop tools, I also work with Adobe's latest AI-powered features to intelligently expand backgrounds and generate custom visual elements, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in digital imagery.
Traditional & Digital Artwork
Photography is the medium in which I am most skilled. While I have worked professionally as an event photographer, my true passion lies in landscape and wildlife photography, where I aim to capture moments of natural beauty and quiet intensity. Beyond photography, I enjoy working with my hands and exploring a range of physical media. My portfolio features a diverse selection of work, including paper collage, painting (I work in oil, acrylic, and watercolor), land art installations, mail art, 3D digital art—as shown here—and a short film. These works reflect both academic assignments and independent creative exploration, showcasing my versatility and curiosity as an artist.
"Prison Reform: A Bird's Eye View" (2025)
This Capstone Project explores the urgent need for prison reform in the United States by juxtaposing found photography with symbolic bird imagery to highlight the inhumanity of punitive incarceration. Through photomontage, I depict scenes that reflect systemic issues like overcrowding, mental illness, gang violence, and the treatment of juvenile offenders. Rooted in both personal experience and research, my work challenges viewers to reconsider the role of retribution in justice and to imagine systems that prioritize rehabilitation. By drawing inspiration from more humane models abroad, I aim to prompt reflection on how the treatment of incarcerated individuals ultimately shapes our communities.
