I write music that gives structure to images. I’m a composer with a background in jazz and modern composition and orchestration, drawn to harmony, rhythmic movement and subtle tension. I build cues that evolve with the film, using color and controlled dissonance when the story allows, and restraint when it's needed. I have experience writing for ensemble and larger-format arrangements, and I’m always interested in projects that allow the music to expand in scale. My recent work includes socially driven documentaries that required sensitivity and precision, shaping music that supports without overpowering. I collaborate closely with directors and producers, crafting scores that follow the emotional arc of a project and add momentum without losing nuance.
