I’ve spent nearly two decades producing and directing commercial, branded, and social video for advertising. The natural transitions I've chosen throughout my commercial filmmaking career, along with my foundational backbone in documentary filmmaking, have shaped a bold, confident directorial approach that executes with precision while allowing room for exploration.
Every shoot kicks off with a crystal-clear, foundational vision of the final product, backed by sharp strategic thinking and planning, honed from years working in and alongside agencies. As an award-winning filmmaker I also lean into cutting edge technology; planning for VFX, and utilizing 3D pre-visualization tools and AI to provide clients a clear vision and the confidence to execute it flawlessly.
I cut my teeth in the industry as an editor, moved on to producing and directing over 100 commercials for automotive, and am now using this culmination of skills and my eye for energetic and exciting motion to motivate people-driven brands to get excited and take action. When I'm not busy bringing the good vibes on set, you can find me planning my next globetrotting documentary while sipping espresso in my finest, era-specific Japanese denim.
