Director · Creative Producer · Copywriter

I'm a director and creative producer based in Los Angeles, working at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and craft. I write, direct, and produce branded content and commercials for consumer, lifestyle, sports, and tech brands — from concept through delivery.

I come from a theater background, trained at Hanover College, which means I think in performance, pacing, and the quiet moments that actually land. That instinct carries into everything I direct: the shot that earns emotion rather than demands it, the line of copy that doesn't sound like it was written in a conference room.

From single-spot commercials to multi-video campaigns, I build work that holds up — visually, strategically, and past the first watch.
