I retouch, grade and composite photos, and build small web tools that make creative work faster. Lately I build a lot of that with Claude.

Small tools for creative work.
I'm learning to code by building things I actually use in my editing work.

About
Five years behind the edit.
I'm a photo editor and retoucher based in Dubai. I started editing five years ago, when the studio I was working for needed its own in-house editor, and I've been doing it ever since.
I work across portraits, fashion, product shots and composites, for clients ranging from fashion brands to perfume, makeup, wellness and home products.
I've also studied AI and earned certificates in coding. I use both to build tools that make creative work faster, like the projects above.
