Her work shows her versatile skills.  In photography alone, she has experience with different mediums: black & white photography, color photography, cyanotypes, van dykes, gum bichromates, digital, commercial, and more.  She focuses on effective visual communication when creating her pieces.   Her pieces of work show either a personal interest, which are usually about capturing human behaviors, and feelings, or about assigned subjects.  Either way, she loves communicating visually and would continue to do so for years. And in architecture, she continues improving her 2-D visual skils along with learning 3-D skills and introducing sustainable properties to her projects.​
