Hello! 

I am a film director and editor who works across documentary, commercial, and short-form genres. I am also a dancer and musician, and I love to channel my excitement for these disciplines through visual storytelling. Nice to meet you!

For me, filmmaking has always been about curiosity, collaboration, and experimentation. Capturing the beauty and complexity of our world and sharing the lives and stories of others is my passion. Whether it’s a 15-second social media ad or a 60-minute feature doc, I love creating on-screen art in any form.

Beyond my work as a director and editor, I often fill many different roles on set, from Camera Operator and Media Manager to DIT, 1st AC, and various other swing positions. You might consider me a “cinematic swiss army knife” - a tool to help you at any part of the production process. When not performing any of these roles, you can find me playing guitar, walking under big trees, or traveling in the little cabin on wheels I built for myself.

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have a vision to share -
