As a seasoned filmmaker and video maker, I have honed my skills in producing, writing, and directing projects across a range of formats, from long-form narratives to short-form content. My deep understanding of advertising has also equipped me to serve as a strategic marketing director, where I leverage creative storytelling to effectively communicate brand messages. As a freelancer, I am well-versed in a wide array of digital tools, including video editing, color correction, audio production, compositing, and graphic design software, which enhance my ability to deliver polished, professional projects. In addition to directing, I frequently step behind the camera as a cinematographer, drawing on my familiarity with various cameras and gear to capture compelling visuals. My expertise spans both animation and live-action mediums, allowing me to approach each project with versatility and creativity. Through my comprehensive skill set and industry experience, I am committed to bringing engaging stories to life, whether for the screen, commercial endeavors, or artistic expressions.

I have a wide range of interests: books, film, physics, animation, performance, art, philosophy, etc. Being such a flirt with so many interesting concepts and ideas it is fairly paradoxical that I have stuck with animation for so long. It has been the constant in my life. I love being able to get into the minds and hearts of a person (or animal or thing) that I have little to nothing in common. It expands my understanding and appreciation. Some jobs increase my appreciation for the sciences and mysteries of life, the universe, and everything. Jurassic Park was the film that infected me with the desire to work in the animation industry. “We can make imaginations real.” The best relationships are built while creating. Let’s make cool stuff together!
