A director's eye.
An editor's instinct.

I started as an editor. I shoot on a Sony FX3, work with anamorphic and G Master glass, and grade the finish in Resolve. I've been working with generative filmmaking tools since 2023.

At SanctusPay I ran daily social publishing, led content and marketing, and produced 50+ Zeus Vega Podcast episodes. At Flowermouth Films and Fox Pine, I carry that production experience into films, campaigns, websites, and creative tools.
