Seattle based Director, Cinematographer, and Editor. Recent clients include Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft and Blue Origin.
I am a filmmaker with over 10 years of experience and a background in documentary production. By working on documentaries, I have become a more adaptive videographer that is comfortable working in fast-paced environments and is accustomed to editing large amounts of footage into clear, concise videos that are always driven by emotional storytelling.
My background in documentary film has given me years of experience in all aspects of film production. Whether your project requires simply operating a camera for a one-day event, or everything from pre-production to directing, cinematography, lighting, sound recording and editing, I am capable of meeting these demands while staying within your budget.
My client list includes Bose and the Seattle Seahawks, Microsoft, Blue Origin, Mariner's Bow, Fluke, Seabird Scientific, the AFP, Reuters, Hydrogen Advertising, TRT 2, Venture Real Estate Group, Sewn.tech, CTGN, OTIS Solutions, Sun Path Electric, Our Children's Trust and Pyramid Communications, among others.
One of the most valuable skills I have gained from documentaries is my excellent people skills. Spending hundreds of hours working with non-actors that are not experienced in front of a camera has taught me how to get my clients to open up and feel comfortable while I work with them. In addition to this, I excel in the following technical capacities:
- Cinematography: Lighting, composition, and use of camera stabilization systems for cinematic camera movement.
- Directing Interviews: research during pre-production to formulate questions, ability to develop rapport with the subject so they can deliver natural responses, and quick thinking to react on the fly as the interview evolves.
- Editing: 8+ years of experience in Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Lightroom)
Outside of videography, my greatest passion is conservation and protecting the environment. I have produced videos for a variety of organizations focused on environmental issues, ranging from national and international organizations such as the Endangered Species Coalition, Stand.earth and Rainforest Action Network, to local non-profits such as 350 Seattle. If you or your company are focused on issues related to sustainability, I would love to help educate the world about your efforts through video.

Hello, I’m an Emmy-nominated cinematographer, director, and editor with over a decade of experience across branded content, corporate, narrative, and commercial video. My work is rooted in cinematic lighting, composition, and visual storytelling whether on set or in post-production.
Alongside traditional production, I also create high-performing AI-generated UGC and product videos, applying the same cinematic principles to modern, scalable content for ads and social platforms. Using advanced AI tools, I produce natural, authentic-feeling videos that blend seamlessly into TikTok, Instagram Reels, and paid media without looking scripted or sales-driven.
AI-generated content is offered on a custom basis. If you’re interested in AI UGC, product demos, or scalable ad variations, please reach out to discuss scope and pricing so I can tailor the approach to your campaign.
