hey there!
Welcome! I am lover of pretty lights and lenses, a maker of magical alternate realities, and a believer in making bold decisions. I work in documentary, narrative, commercial, and music video. I'm a director and cinematographer with a passion for character and story.
I am profoundly committed to stories of underrepresented people and the betterment of our world. I believe in the potential of media to uplift, empower, and unify. I help turn ideas into reality. I'm based in Los Angeles, but travel all the time.
