decades of experience in film, television, and commercial production.
I am known for my strong visual instincts, attention to detail and my collaborative approach. I pride myself on working closely with directors to understand and support their vision - balancing creative ideas with practical, budget-conscious solutions. I bring a deep understanding of visual storytelling to every project. I have a good eye, I’m resourceful and I love building each project from the ground up with creativity, precision, and purpose. Because of my experience, I have resources and contacts that are unparalleled, which have bolstered my success.
Over the years, I’ve contributed to award- winning campaigns, with several directors earning Clio awards for projects that I helped bring to life.
I believe every project is an opportunity to create something meaningful. I believe good design supports the story and I bring that intention to every job, regardless of scope or size. I bring seasoned leadership to every campaign.
I love what I do and look forward to talking to you about your next project!
