ABOUT

I  was born to own the name Spirit, be creative and do things in a “Novel” way.

Professional

I'm a multidisciplinary retoucher/designer. I have 15 years of experience and enjoy teaching other retouchers how to speed up workflows. Retouching should never be boring! On set something always goes wrong, and this is when I can use my ideation and post production skill set to make a problem into a creative solution.  For some jobs I’m all about the pixels. I like to move fast while still being meticulous. Tedious channel masking, luminosity masks and color problems are challenges to be conquered. What pen pressure for cloning or color correcting by the numbers? I'll figure it out and be twice as fast next on the next image. Organized PSD files are a must. Stacking adjustment layers, , frequency separation and pathing with the pen tool - no problem!  For other jobs, I’m type and layout obsessed - making sure there is balance, an optimum amount of white space, that my font combos compliment each other and are kerned to perfection. I also have a passion for packaging and label design - from creating a design template for a box or bottle to a full size vehicle wrap. I create custom Wix websites and have been using this platform for over 10 years. My newest infatuations are creating eye-catching animated social media posts that people can't help but engage with. I'm still learning video editing and 3D modeling as I need to always be learning. I can work alone freelancing but I'm even happier collaborating and sharing ideas with other creatives. 

 

“The sign of a good retoucher is no sign at all.”

 

 

Personal

I live and work by two words - TENACITY & INTEGRITY. Every project is approached with purpose to do the absolute best job I can for my clients while always maintaining a fair and honest business relationship.
