I’m a filmmaker and photographer based in Columbia, South Carolina, and I love using visual storytelling to connect people with meaning. With a decade of experience, I bring strong skills in video editing, filmmaking, and photography, and I’m motivated by delivering excellent results and communicating clearly throughout every project. I also value storytelling that goes beyond the screen—I’ve aimed to create spaces where people can encounter God while building relationships through my work. I thrive in collaborative, relationship-driven environments and enjoy tackling creative challenges from planning through production and post.
