Curation
Finding something well-priced and genuinely beautiful, then knowing who, or which room, it actually belongs with.
The quietest discipline in the studio, and in some ways the oldest: years spent sourcing vintage and antique pieces, styling the looks and characters that come out of them and designing the sets and spaces they live in. Craftsmanship and character matter more than a price tag; a hidden treasure or an affordable find can hold as much weight as anything from a high-end shop.

At Comm Week 2026, the collection became the presentation.
For “The Dying Practice, but the Undying Need for Physical Media,” my Comm Week session for ProComm Magazine, I brought the collection into the room: vinyl records, vintage postcards and other physical media, laid out so guests could pick up and feel each item during a hands-on walkthrough.
The session followed my journey of creating and consuming physical media, and why print and tangible media still matter in an ever-evolving digital world, and it closed with the unveiling of the upcoming ProComm Magazine cover.
One of the best estate sales for vinyl I have ever seen: thousands of records, and seventeen came home for around $20. And the other side of sourcing, finding the one piece someone will love, like the teapot that finally arrived for Grandma’s Christmas gift.
Every costume is a character study: the silhouette, the props, the place you shoot it.
Cosplay, Halloween and themed looks, styled from head to toe and staged where they make the most sense. Hover any look to watch it flip through the whole shoot, click to open it large.

GF Creative House · The launch shoot
A whole house, built from things around my own.
For the launch shoot, I wanted to show exactly what this studio is about, turning ordinary things into something unforgettable. Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, I built this little house entirely from things I found around my own home and from items at dollar tree. Old pillowcases and sheets became the carpet and drapes, leftover wrapping paper turned into wallpaper, and strips of lace became the crown moldings.
A set isn’t a backdrop.
For Tusk I designed individualized sets and led the photo direction for each feature, using careful curation to create storytelling spaces that felt immersive and intentional. For the advice column, the set is where the models answered readers’ questions, on camera and in print.
