CV
INTRODUCTION
My entrepreneurial and curious nature has led me to evolve from photography to projects that promote creativity and transformation in institutional, educational, business and private contexts.
I am a photographer, writer, graphic artist and educator with more than 35 years in the creative field. I studied at Parsons School of Design in New York, where I fell in love with creativity as a process present everywhere, far beyond photography and the arts. This led me to apply creative techniques in diverse fields, including industries and “non-creative” entities.
I have collaborated with an extensive list of clients, including American Express, IBM, Coca-Cola, Nike, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, NYT Magazine, Jazz-Hot, Jazz Times, Messidor, Merrill Lynch, Amazon, and many more.
