20 years of experience in creative production.

When we watch someone’s story unfold on screen, we are looking for unique angles of humanity that inspire, intrigue and impact us.

When I’m directing a project, whether it’s for a commercial, documentary or interest piece, it is always my goal to focus on the human element. To showcase the authenticity of our subject and create a memorable visual.
