Creative imaging for Texas State collections
Digitized music photographs, including images of Bo Diddley and Willie Nelson, then prepared exhibition-quality prints for The Wittliff Collections’ photography gallery. Other work included restoring and enlarging a Jerry Jeff Walker album cover for an exhibition and producing a framed image of the handwritten legislation that established Texas State for display at the university’s archival research center.
05
University of Tennessee imaging lab
Built the university’s first camera-based digital imaging lab to federal FADGI four-star standards. For a 500,000-image project, custom image and metadata quality-control automation was estimated to save 14,285 hours and $128,500 over the project’s lifetime.
06
Opioid Industry Documents Archive
Prepared and normalized data spanning more than 10 million documents and 25 million images, and helped secure funded open-access hosting for a multi-terabyte research dataset. The OIDA team received the Society of American Archivists’ 2023 Archival Innovators of the Year award.

05 / About
A little about me
“Find beauty in the chaos of everyday life.”Artist statement · 2009
My creative practice grew from a love of photography and the craft of making prints. I work across analog, alternative-process, and digital darkrooms, and I’m drawn to the ways careful looking can reveal both order and surprise in everyday places.
Alongside my art practice, I build imaging and data workflows for libraries and archives. That work brings together photographic craft, practical engineering, and a commitment to helping people discover and use cultural collections.
I hold an MFA in Photography from the University of North Texas. UNT Special Collections holds a collection of my photographs ↗
