I started my photography journey in 2010 traversing the country photographing dance competitions – yes, the dance mom kind. After enduring countless performances set to the Frozen theme song, I made the blind move to NYC to live in a shoebox of an apartment. I quickly built a network of creatives, producers, editors that over the years have led to commissions ranging from New Balance to Rolling Stone.

My work toes the line between commercial and documentary, often leaning on natural light, deep knowledge of athletics, and an instinct for moments that feel slightly off-script.

Lately, I’ve been more interested in pushing my work beyond the screen, moving toward more tangible practices like product design, live event production, and large format photography.

Outside of work, I’m typically on a tennis court, working in the yard, or out walking my dog Jasper.

My primary role at Topspin oscillates between creative producer, photographer, and line producer.
