Bio

Award winning video editor and director — equal parts creative doer and experienced manager. From conceptualization and production to directing and editing, I lead multiple aspects of the creation and development of audiovisual content, bringing together diverse teams to transform raw footage into capsules of wonder.

In recent years, I’ve also specialized in building and managing cloud-based post-production workflows — designing remote-first systems that keep creativity flowing, even across continents. From real-time collaboration and asset management to scalable delivery pipelines, I work at the intersection of craft and infrastructure.

I find purpose in making sense of the noise, sifting through the rubble, and exposing the core of the story — no matter where the footage (or team) is coming from.

Recent client experience includes: Arm & Hammer, Biogen, Campbells, Canadian Pacific, Carnegie Mellon University, Cognizant, Cigna, Dove, Google Pixel, GE, Guggenheim, Hawai'i Visitors & Convention Bureau, J&J, Mars, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group, Netflix, Pepsico Foundation, Samsung CSR, Sotheby's, Staples, and The Home Depot.
