I WRITE BIOS IN THE FIRST PERSON.

Storytelling is my heartbeat. 

 

Day to day, I collaborate with iconic brands, global media companies, and integrated marketing teams to create branded films and video series. Weekend to weekend, I hurl myself into the belly of personal scripted films and new media projects inspired by fine art, identity dimensionality, and the nuances of perspective. ​​
 

My portfolio spans documentaries, scripted narratives, digital series, social content, linear television, live broadcasts, launch teasers, 2D and 3D animation, advertisements, experiential activations, immersive editorials, and celebrity collaborations. 

​​

No matter the medium—film, video, TV, or long emails nobody reads—I hurl myself into the belly of every project. My heart lands on the details that build plump narratives and storied visuals. 

​

Work highlights include three Telly Award wins, a PANO filmmaking grant, the creation of large-scale projections in Rockefeller Center, and screenings at Christie’s worldwide, the New York Directors Guild of America, the Los Angeles Music Center, CinemaCon, Regal Cinemas, and the Tampa Bay International LGBTQ+ Film Festival.
