Growing up in Los Angeles, I was influenced by skate film aesthetics and Spike Jones music videos, which shaped my eye for storytelling and bold visuals. Today, I believe thoughtful storytelling and dynamic visuals are what drive engagement and results, and I lead creative teams to deliver award-winning work that stops people scrolling. Over the last 15 years, I’ve put that mindset to the test with editorial content, leading teams to deliver work that actually makes people pause, watch, and learn more.
