I create engaging, conceptual, cross-channel content that cuts through the cluttered broadcast, digital and physical landscapes.

As a director, I’m a compassionate storyteller. I elicit natural performances by making real connections with my subjects, no matter if they are artists, entrepreneurs or C-Level executives. Using a naturalist approach, I combine expressive visuals with moving narratives to create personal and compelling videos.

As an art director, I've created award winning work for numerous clients including Mercedes-Benz, Sprite, and The New York Post. I've also designed countless album covers, posters, logos and all kinds of images that function across multiple platforms.

In my free time I can be found teaching myself jazz drums, watching films with the sound turned off, and reading obscure non-fiction way past my bedtime.

Nelson’s work has been recognized by: Clio, One Show, Cannes, Andys, New York Festivals, Pittsburgh Independent Film Festival, and the Canadian University Music Society Film Series.
