Photography

Passionate about moving and still images as historical artifacts and works of art

When in Rome, you fall in love. (Or at least I did!) Studying Italian history introduced to the Neorealist films, which blended documentary and fiction and were a window into a place and time that fascinated me. After college I moved to Paris, immersed myself in world cinema (and French), and went on to work for two international film festivals.

Over time I became more interested in still photography as another way of seeing and understanding life. A trip to Morocco in 1999 finally inspired me to start making my own pictures. It was incredibly fun and opened up new ways of seeing, thinking and being in the world. In mid-2008 I took a step further and began a photographic journey in India that continues today.

Web sites

Ten years of experience in designing and managing both large and small scale web sites

From 2000 to 2008 I worked for the global law firm Orrick in a broad range of Web-related roles. During that time the firm doubled in size, created new departments, rebranded, redesigned its external site, and launched a major intranet site (plus two subsequent redesigns). My unofficial title was "Webmistress," a role that involved Webmastering, design, analysis and producing.

Through those years I gained invaluable experience in collaborating with a wide range of people — from web developers and graphic designers to lawyers and business professionals. I look forward to bringing my skills and experience to other organizations and to continued growth in this field.

Multimedia

The next frontier: Bringing it all together with words, images, sound, graphics and design

Managing the creation of Web multimedia for businesses and organizations involved in the visual arts and communications is the work I would like to do next. Documentary multimedia that explores cultural and social themes is what interests me most.

I enjoy participating in the conceptual and design phases of projects, organizing and editing different media content, and liaising with clients and a variety of creative professionals. As the Internet evolves into a more interactive and visual medium, stories can now be told online in a variety of ways using photos, video, sound and text. I plan to add multimedia to my own work and would be happy to help you create an engaging, rich-media Web experience.
