As a filmmaker, I work to create visuals that can effectively convey ideas that drive social change. With over a decade of experience, I've worked as a cinematographer, producer and editor in many different contexts: studios and sets, on location, guerrilla productions and everything in between.
I bring with me an appreciation of character and narrative, and an obsession with how the two can be utilized to build bridges of understanding. For me, the ultimate aim is to mobilize, empower and broaden collective power. I seek to partner with national and global brands and organizations that prioritize sustainability, community self-determination, equality, and social justice.
Over the last decade I’ve collaborated with clients across the world, from fashion and hospitality to political organizations and non-profits. In addition to my commercial and editorial work I commit myself to a variety of documentary passion projects aligned with healthcare and climate justice.
I’m always looking for the next story, and seeking new collaborators.
