I’ve led projects for clients like Uber, NBCUniversal, Red Bull, and the U.S. Presidential Campaign, handling everything from concept to final delivery. What makes me stand out is that I’m not just a shooter or an editor, I bring the bigger picture too. I know how to keep a production moving, work with clients, solve problems fast, and turn complicated ideas into video that actually lands.
