ABOUT

Hi, I’m Cisco!

I’m a digital artist based in Seattle, WA, with a passion for art and an equal love for nerding out with the technical/analytical side of my brain too. For me, Photoshop is the perfect marriage of both, and keeps my brain expanding daily due to the infinite things to learn and ways to create within the software.

I’ve retouched for the last 11 years, and had the pleasure to work on all kinds of projects with all kinds of brands, from Miss America, to Amazon, to Westin Hotels, with some events, lot’s of portraits, and tons of social media work thrown in along the way.

When I’m not retouching, you can find me obsessing over my other major creative passion: dance. I perform all over the US and lead a community here in Seattle where I instruct and host events for my community You Can Shuffle With Us. You can check out my work on Instagram if you’re curious about what shuffling is! As much as I love the dancing itself, it’s the relationships I’ve built along the way that truly light me up - I feel energized when I spend time connecting and collaborating with others.

My core belief as a retouching artist is that each model I work with is already a work of art on their own. I’m not here to apply a bunch of tools and filters to change what they look like, but rather, it is my job to highlight and emphasize the unique, natural beauty that they bring to our collaboration. Photoshop is an amazing and powerful software, and although I love being able to constantly learn new tricks and techniques to improve my art, at the end of the day, I am simply here to help you as a model or photographer to feel confident and look your best. By listening to what you want, communicating throughout the entire process, and utilizing my skill and attention to detail, I can help bring the vision in your head to life.
