PROJECT SETTINGS
6+Years experience
LeadVideography team

I work at the point where a story meets a deadline. Six-plus years in cinematography and photography, shooting and cutting across almost every industry — food, beauty, fashion, product, corporate, and narrative work.

I currently lead the videography team at my company — running shoots end to end, setting the visual standard for the work that goes out, and mentoring the editors and videographers on the team. Increasingly, that means stepping back from the camera itself to direct: shaping concept, shot lists, and performance before a single frame is captured.

Most projects start the same way: something real to say and a limited amount of time to say it in. My job is finding the frame, the beat, the cut that makes someone stop and watch — then delivering it in whatever spec the project demands.
