  • About + Contact

I’ve had the good fortune to meet incredibly interesting people from diverse backgrounds and collaborate on their projects. I create engaging cross-channel content that helps my clients break through the cluttered broadcast, digital and physical landscapes.

As a former ad agency creative director, I developed award winning work for numerous clients including Mercedes-Benz, Sprite, MTV, and The New York Post. As a freelance graphic designer I've worked in a variety of styles, creating countless album covers, book jackets, posters and logos. 

As a director, I’m a compassionate storyteller. I elicit natural performances by making real connections with my subjects. My intention is to make compelling, emotional connections with viewers.

In addition to working within the doc-style genre, I am working towards expanding my stylistic range into scripted narrative and comedy. Working in the genres I cut my teeth on as an agency creative will be a natural progression and I’m excited to bring my vision to scripts and collaborate with others.

When I’m not directing I can be found making a mess in my painting studio, watching films with the sound off, or reading obscure non-fiction way past my bedtime.

Awards: Telly, One Show finalist, Communication Arts, Clio, Cannes finalist, Andys finalist, New York Festivals
