Over more than a decade I have written music for short films, feature projects, and documentaries, crafting scores that support character and narrative.

I collaborate closely with directors, editors, and Foley artists to bring scenes to life, and I continually expand my toolkit with hands-on music production, orchestration, and sound design.
