I have over 10 years of video experience. I'm familiar with producing, ideating, scripting, location recce, talent/crew scouting, videography, lighting, audio field recording, handheld/gimbal filming, video editing, and audio mixing. I started a video channel in 2015 and since its inception, over 100 musicians have been featured, taking place in various countries. Included on this channel was a series called Joes & Jams, where emerging artists are featured in a multi-cam interview/performance format at local coffee shops. Through the years, I developed an interest to branch out into other forms of video work as a way to expand my horizons and refine my versatility. I got involved in projects that include editing sizzle interview segments for an ad agency, shooting/editing an introduction trailer/clip for an online lifestyle magazine, shooting/editing for a music collective, and shooting/recording/editing for a couple short films (one which was recently finished and received a few selections). Most recently, I was in video production for a tech aviation startup. It was a new realm for me and gave a lot of new perspective when it comes to creating compelling content in an unfamiliar sector. It was invaluable and I came out of it a more seasoned video creator. I have worked with a lot of people along the way and believe that I mesh well in a variety of situations. I have a combination of experience, abilities, and a sensibility to do great for many video projects.

I’m a San Francisco-based photographer, videographer, and drone content creator producing modern visual content for brands, founders, nonprofits, real estate teams, and creatives across California—especially the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs. With 6+ years of experience, I specialize in hybrid photo and video production: brand photography, short-form video, cinematic B-roll, social content, interview-based content, real estate visuals, event coverage, and optional drone capture. My approach combines strong composition, natural light, clean editing, and story-driven content that feels polished, intentional, and built for today’s digital platforms. I regularly work with clients who need more than just photos or video alone—they need versatile content that works across websites, campaigns, social media, marketing, and internal brand storytelling. I’m comfortable leading shoots, capturing candid moments, filming interviews, and creating refined visuals that match the pace and goals of each project. I use a professional multi Sony-based camera setup along with lighting, audio, and drone equipment to deliver high-quality visual content for a range of productions, from branded shoots and events to interview-driven videos and business storytelling. My work spans real estate, architecture, hospitality, lifestyle branding, headshots, events, and documentary-style storytelling. I aim to make every shoot feel smooth, collaborative, and creatively dialed-in.
