About

I'm Destini, a multidisciplinary creative with a passion for storytelling through photography, music, and film. Based in Southern New York, I've worked with brands like Sony, Def Jam, The New Yorker, and On the Radar and more , capturing raw emotion and authenticity in every frame. Beyond the lens, I'm a musician, a communications expert, and a storyteller committed to uplifting voices and sharing narratives that matter. Life has thrown me challenges, but I've turned them into purpose using my journey to inspire, create, and connect.
