I am a strategic connector, business developer, and advisor operating at the intersection of commercial art, strategic partnerships, and intellectual property.
Throughout my career, I have served as the bridge between world-class creatives and global brands—transforming artistic vision into high-impact collaborations, merchandise licensing, and scalable IP strategies. My approach combines a deep respect for the creative process with a sharp instinct for commercial growth.
MY FOUNDATION
My career began in the studios of legendary visual artists Annie Leibovitz, Mark Seliger, and David LaChapelle, learning firsthand what drives iconic culture. That foundation led to pivotal roles shaping production, talent representation, and operations at industry powerhouses like IMG (LENS division) and Magnum Photos.
MY EXPERTISE
Most recently, I served as the Senior Director, Artist Collaborations & Brand Partnerships at Great Bowery Licensing, where my work covered:
Artist Collaborations — building licensing programs that paired iconic photographers with top brands to develop their imagery into physical products
Content Partnerships — extending access to the Trunk Archive and Gallery Stock libraries through platform partnerships, putting premier photography in front of new audiences
Merchandise Licensing — developing direct-to-retail relationships that made both libraries available for licensing, from broad retail programs to one-off image licenses, including a niche vertical licensing musician photography for band and artist merch
Together, this gave me a full-picture view of how imagery moves from an artist's archive into a commercial product.
MY MISSION
Whether guiding a heritage archive through a modern brand collaboration or helping a global property scale its iconic IP into new lifestyle and retail categories, my goal is simple: to build fruitful, commercially driven partnerships that unlock the true power of IP. I'm now channeling that same mission into my next chapter—open to opportunities across all types of IP (art, character, entertainment, and beyond), in-house at a retailer, or with suppliers in the licensed goods space.
