About

Since earning my AAS Degree in Photography and Business from Dakota County Technical College, I’ve built a multifaceted career in the creative industry. Since 2016, I’ve worked as a Freelance Art Director and Fashion Photographer at kcfilzenphotos, developing visual concepts and producing high-quality imagery for fashion and editorial projects. My experience includes working as Social Media Manager and Photo Coordinator at Everlane, where I strengthened brand presence and managed creative asset coordination. At Fame and Partners, I served as Head of Photography, leading campaign photography and art direction. I also worked with Nue Collective Agency, creating content for hospitality and lifestyle brands, and held the Art Director role at The Volk Magazine, overseeing fashion and editorial shoots. Additionally, as an Imagine Director and Model Scout at Arquette Agency, I helped manage talent and develop model portfolios. Across each role, I’ve demonstrated a strong mix of creative leadership, strategic thinking, and collaborative execution.
