Dreamer by night

At my core, I’m an artist. When I’m not creating stakeholder value, I live to adventure, tell stories, and capture the extraordinary in the ordinary through imagery, words, film, and design. I believe personal and professional brands don’t have to clash, and this site reflects the beautiful amalgamation that is my professional career journey and personal artistic pursuits.

Welcome to my portfolio

Studio Sophy documents the multifaceted aspects of my journey as a creative human, showcasing an array of projects spanning across design, photography, art, fashion, travel stories, and contemplations on life. Join me as I work on my craft and explore new mediums to tinker with side projects. I hope you discover something interesting.

 
 
 

Photography

Studio portraiture, model test shoots, figure studies, and exciting glimpses of New York Fashion Week and Stephen Colbert’s dressing room.

Art

Trained in fine art and architecture, drawing has always made its way into everything I do. Currently doodling with the Apple Pencil, Figma, and animation tools.

And more

My blog houses the full collection of creative pursuits and documented life experiences. Come behind the scenes, there’s tons to see.
