I guide projects from concept through on-set production to final delivery, leveraging a wide range of cameras including Sony FX6/FX3, RED, ARRI, Canon, and Blackmagic, and I edit with Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, and After Effects.

Over the past 7+ years, my work has earned festival selections and wins at HollyShorts, Seattle International Film Festival, Newport Beach, and Cannes Short Film Corner, while my collaborative, storytelling-focused approach helps teams deliver high-quality, engaging content for diverse audiences.
