About

What started as a passion for photography and film has led me down a ten-year career of wearing many hats. Shooting, editing, directing, graphic design, motion design, creative direction, social media management, and most recently digital marketing strategy and execution.

A decade on the road, and a decade inside a label, taught me how to build stories that move at the speed of a live audience.

Doing every one of those jobs personally is what shaped how I lead now. I know what these roles actually take.

Today I split my time across creative direction, marketing, and digital strategy. Building brand systems, campaigns, and content that carry the same weight as the work behind them.
