THE WRITTEN STORYEditorial Storytelling
I developed the concept and wrote a first-person feature for Matador Network exploring three Travelty Experiences at Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos, including a blindfolded dining experience, a tasting of Mexico’s lesser-known spirits, and stomping grapes at sunset. At the heart of it all? The people who made each experience memorable.

THE VISUAL STORYOriginal Photography
From Los Cabos’ dramatic coastline to very good-looking plates of food, I captured the colors, characters, and little details that give a place its personality. I edited the photos with a consistent look that reflects the warmth and color of the property. The goal? Make you feel like you were there — and wish you were.
THE SOCIAL STORYOn-Location Video
Five seconds can go a long way. I filmed short clips around the resort for Matador Network to use in social video, capturing the atmosphere, little details, and moments that make you want to experience it for yourself.
