What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role that challenges my creativity and utilizes my skills in both remote and on-site production. I thrive managing projects from concept to execution, overseeing pre- and post-production remotely or traveling for shoots. I’m eager to create high-quality content for corporate clients, live events, and digital platforms while experimenting with new storytelling techniques.

I’m a creative producer with 13+ years of experience across video, audio, live events, and motion graphics. I’ve led projects in corporate, documentary, commercial, and narrative formats, bringing a versatile, hands-on approach to every stage of production. With expertise in directing, editing, mixing, and event coordination, I’ve worked on everything from on-demand investor updates for major firms to live global broadcasts.

I thrive in environments where I can problem-solve and adapt to evolving challenges—whether stepping in to cover crew absences or creating high-impact, engaging content across digital platforms. My work with clients like Focus Financial Partners, Tishman Speyer, and KKR has earned me a reputation for delivering exceptional quality under tight deadlines.

I’m passionate about making complex concepts clear through storytelling and design, always pushing creative boundaries and exploring new tools and techniques.
