Design & Photography

Visibility Through Collaboration.

My visibility practice extends beyond voice and storytelling into visual form—through modeling, photography and video set design, and creative direction. I treat the body and environment as co-conspirators in expression, using composition, color, and form to translate vulnerability into visibility. Whether directing campaigns or designing sets, I create immersive visual narratives that invite audiences to see presence as protest and beauty as reclamation. Collaboration is central to this process; working with photographers, stylists, and designers who can both see and be seen within the space transforms each project into a dialogue about identity, gaze, and belonging. These partnerships have shaped not only how I am captured, but how I imagine and construct visibility itself.
