VISUAL RESEARCH. I specialize in sourcing and presenting arts-based visual research for books and treatments. I thrive on helping artists and editors find the perfect visual aids to elevate their narratives and bring their creative vision to life.

 

LICENSING. Image licensing, or intellectual property clearance, involves a multi-layered process of securing permissions to reproduce text, audio, or visual works of art. I work with image houses, museums, and individual creators to feature their work in print and digital projects. 

 

PRINT PRODUCTION. Creating books is a dynamic and collaborative process. With over a decade of experience in the publishing industry, I guide clients in selecting printers, techniques, and materials that align with their artistic vision, ensuring the final product is both impactful and original.

 

PROJECT MANAGEMENT. Bringing a book to life involves more than just print production. I manage every detail from the initial concept to the finished product to ensure a cohesive and successful outcome. As a Project Manager, I connect teams of creatives and technicians through clear communication, effective collaboration, and shared goals.

 

ARCHIVES. I design and build tailored visual archives for individuals and institutions, creating intuitive and sustainable infrastructures that ensure long-term usability and accessibility.

Until soon!

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, where I continue to live and work. I studied Art History at the University of California, Los Angeles, and spent several years traveling and working in archives, including time at the Museo de La Plata in Argentina, before returning to California to complete an MA in History & Archival Studies at Claremont Graduate University. After more than fifteen years working in the arts, my research has expanded toward natural building and healthy-home design, which can be found at healthy-haus.com.
