ONE WALL STREET, PH3
NEW YORK, NY 10005
Art sales professional with extensive experience in commission-driven gallery environments. I work with first-time buyers, seasoned collectors, entertainment figures, prominent professionals, high-net-worth individuals, and a global clientele from diverse cultural backgrounds.
I adapt my approach to each client, guide them through the acquisition process, and manage complex logistics with clarity. My experience includes production and fabrication workflows, framing options, shipping coordination, installation planning, and large-scale placements. I maintain a substantial long-term client list and am known for discretion, trust-building, and a high-touch advisory style.
Before entering the art world, I built a successful career as a Creative Director in New York’s fashion and beauty industries, collaborating with leading photographers, designers, and creative teams on campaigns around the world. I bring a dual academic background in graphic design, creative marketing, and art history/museum professions, which allows me to bridge visual strategy with an understanding of museum standards and curatorial practices.
This combination strengthens my design sensibility, visual literacy, and ability to connect with creative, culturally attuned audiences—many of whom overlap with today’s emerging collector base.
I stay engaged with contemporary visual culture, including AI-assisted imagery, generative practices, transmedia work, and emerging phygital formats. I draw on these ideas when they offer clarity or context for collectors and am comfortable discussing process, materials, and conceptual frameworks.
As a long-time Downtown New York resident, I understand the cultural ecosystems that influence younger buyers. I also manage automated e-commerce storefronts (Shopify, TikTok Shop, Instagram Shop), which gives me insight into digital-native acquisition patterns and how new audiences discover art and design.
