ABOUT ME:

I am an American-Filipino, multi-faceted creative based in Los Angeles. I work freelance as a Creative Director, Photographer, and Wardrobe Stylist. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with renowned brands including Barton Perreira, Timberland, Toyota, American Express, as well as a variety of boutique brands that I absolutely adore.

Whether I am working as part of a larger team or independently managing a production, I firmly believe that the success of any campaign hinges on a few key factors: a strong and collaborative team, a compelling concept, and genuine connection. These elements allow the magic to happen and brings a campaign to life.

Off the clock, you’ll find me treasure-hunting through vintage bazaars from the US to Japan or spiraling down a 4 a.m. rabbit hole searching for affordable cameras (one more won’t hurt, right?). I’m usually dreaming up ridiculous stories with my husband in our cozy Benedict Canyon nook or restaurant-hopping with friends—because talking about food while eating it is a sport. If you didn’t get a Google invite from me, well… it’s not happening. And when I need a reset or a spark of inspiration, I grab my point-and-shoot film camera and head to Southeast Asia, where the adventures are endless, the street food is unbeatable, and new friendships are always part of the magic.

 

CREATIVE DIRECTION:

In my role as a Freelance Creative Director, I'm dedicated to guiding brands in discovering an authentic voice that resonates amidst the clamor of a crowded market. I believe in reconnecting with the audience by weaving together a compelling narrative steeped in kindness, connection, and deep listening. My true passion lies in crafting original, heartfelt content through the art of storytelling.

While I'm deeply involved in the actionable planning and creative strategy, I cherish the collaboration with my exceptional team of creatives. Together, we foster an environment of unwavering support, akin to a closely-knit family, to uplift and bring to life the visions we believe in.

WARDROBE STYLING:

My journey in the fashion industry began in 2008, where I gained global experience representing multiple brands and building strong relationships with retail department stores and boutiques. This early exposure deepened my understanding of the ever-evolving fashion market and sharpened my ability to anticipate trends. However, my true passion emerged in working directly with people and projects, where I could bring a more personal and expressive touch to styling.

Over time, I cultivated a trusted roster of clients while working as a wardrobe stylist for advertising, commercials, film, and music videos. The ongoing trust and support from my clients have allowed me to refine a signature aesthetic—one that seamlessly blends classic silhouettes with modern sensibilities, ensuring styles that remain relevant and refined as trends evolve.

Now, with 17+ years of experience, I have the privilege of collaborating daily with some of my favorite brands, producers, directors, and photographers.

I describe my stylistic approach as “timeless and beautiful, with an edge”—a style that is effortlessly iconic, aging with grace yet continuously relevant. My goal is to elevate every project with a refined vision that stands the test of time.

PHOTOGRAPHY:

I approach photography with a blend of travel and portraiture, bridging the gap between art, connection, and sometimes commerce. My deep curiosity about humanity has led me to commissioned work in commercial, fashion, and music—each project an opportunity to connect with people and tell their stories in the most honest way possible.

At the heart of my work is a genuine love for human connection. I thrive on creating a comfortable, collaborative space where subjects feel at ease, allowing their most authentic expressions to shine through. Before we know it, we’ll be laughing together, sharing stories, or exploring abstract ideas—because great images come from real moments of connection.

My experiences traveling the world, meeting incredible people, and immersing myself in different cultures have profoundly shaped my perspective. For me, photography is more than capturing an image—it’s about listening, understanding, and distilling the essence of a moment. With an insatiable curiosity for knowledge and culture, I seek to explore the depth of human experience, translating emotion, history, and identity into visual storytelling that resonates across time.

More than anything, I believe that collaboration should feel effortless, inspiring, and enjoyable. I bring professionalism, passion, and a sense of ease to every project, ensuring that the creative process is not only productive but also truly rewarding for everyone involved.

CO-FOUNDER OF WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

PUBLICATION:

MASCULINE DE LA FEMME:
I started an online publication advocating women empowerment and gender fluidity, in 2015; highlighting and featuring any one person who is deeply passionate about the inspiration of their true calling. The publication is called, Masculine de La Femme, and was also co-founded with fine-art photographer, Dan Monick . The stills are gorgeous and are shot on black & white film with natural light, no production or lights, and the artist is encouraged to come with little to no-makeup. These portraits and short films have been featured in galleries and art pop-ups throughout Los Angeles, specifically with Into Action Art Pop-Up in 2018, Analogue Portrait Project by MOPLA and A Feminist Perspective by We Choose Art.
