WHAT I

BRING…

  • I’m like a machine that generates ideas, but instead of taking coins, I’m powered by chocolate chip cookies. It’s true, they’re actually a personal weakness.

  • I’m not saying that I would ever work for cookies. Not entirely anyway. But I wouldn’t be mad if they were part of a payment structure.

  • Unless they’re going to be fresh baked cookies…then I might have to re-think the whole thing.

  • But the whole deal is off if you bring milk into the equation. Because I’m low key lactose intolerant. But oatmilk is cool.

  • Read below for more detail on how I engage these areas and some of the experiences I’ve had.

CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT

I always lead creative development with intention. 

I believe in a visionary storytelling mindset. One that aligns concepts, visual direction and designs to the objectives, strategies, audience, brand standards, messaging and technology needed to achieve the project goals.

SCRIPTS / STORYBOARDS / SHOT LISTS

I spent 3 years of my college experience majoring in Communications, thinking I was going to be a journalist. But then I found out how much journalists make, and I hit the brakes on that silly idea.

My point is: All the brand research, the personas, the keywords, the click bait…. I’m really good at processing and distilling it into a written document.

A script, that becomes a storyboard, that translates into a shot list, that gets a location scout, that gets a lighting diagram, that gets a call sheet, which then becomes an asset, that generates ROI, and turns into a grotesque run on sentence.

DIRECTOR / PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m very fortunate because I’ve always been obsessed with learning and growing. In my craft, and in life.

I’ve worked on projects where I was way overqualified for my contracted position. But I showed up for that role and gave it my all. And people thanked me for it.

I understand the humility that’s needed in the creative process. I understand how to be all things to all people. How to lead a team with care and compassion, but also drive the boat.

Sure I can be a 1st AC. I’m a hell of a gaffer too. Need me to run next to the talent with a 6x6 bounce in sand…

Yeah, I’ve done it… I’m good. I’ll be in the RV if you need me.

POST PRODUCTION

I’ve handled all types of post shoot work flows. Deadlines, daily’s, on the fly compositing, drafting, split time zone international teams. I have been through it.

And I love efficiency. So much so I’ve developed my own hardware solutions, and software integrations to speed up every part of my process.

I have a veteran soft stylist colleague who affectionately calls me ‘Tony Stark’. And not as an egomaniacal reference…

Retouching, grading, culling, cutting, masking, color matching, formatting, naming conventions, file management… I got you covered.
