Hello hello!
For the last 10 years, I've been directing commercials, music videos, and branded content with snappy, slick visuals and clever, impactful messaging. I was just shortlisted for a Clio Entertainment Award for my work with Snapchat in partnership with Plai and Kygo!
My stylistic range is a reflection of the creative partnerships I like to form with clients and artists. Whether a project is whimsical or brooding, sentimental or sober, the core of my creative style is bringing out the otherworldly in the everyday.
I've produced my work independently, and also in collaboration with scores of established production companies, ad agencies, and brands. I love working with crews of 50 people, and crews of 2. I'm adaptable, nimble, and ready to develope a unique approach to production for each collaboration.
I also make movies! I'm in production on a television pilot and post-production on two short films as writer and director. My film work usually navigates cultural divides, sprawling cities, and space battles.
I got a BA in Film Production at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, and I was born and raised in Northeast Washington, D.C.
