Hi there, I’m a Seattle-based photographer, creative director, and brand developer with a love for making people, ideas, and stories feel a little larger than life.
My relationship with creativity has always been rooted in curiosity. I’m fascinated by the way an image can change how we see ourselves or how the smallest detail can turn an idea into a whole world. That curiosity is what moves me between photography, fashion, visual storytelling, and brand development.
My experience spans nonprofit campaigns, community-centered events, brand storytelling, and editorial portraiture. I have worked alongside organizations, local creatives, and collectives to produce visuals that document and translate moments into lasting narratives.
As a Pasifika artist, former foster youth, organizer, and founder of SFNA Studios, community has naturally become part of how I understand storytelling. I’m interested in the people and perspectives that don’t always get to occupy the center of the frame—and in creating images that feel deeply human. Holding a mirror to our humanity with a little bit of sparkle and love is what I live for.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m probably daydreaming about my next concept, saving references from old fashion editorials, deep diving into to music, or finding another reason to put flowers in a photograph. Let’s capture moments together.
