What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead creative and VFX editing for high-impact film, television, advertising, or immersive projects, collaborating closely with artists and production teams to deliver strong visual storytelling on schedule.

I've led creative and VFX editing for Framestore, Company 3, Method Studios, Digital Domain, and Marvel Entertainment, delivering film, television, advertising, and social content.

At Method Studios, I led editing projects across film, television, advertising, and theme park content while producing company show reels, marketing reels, and social media content. At Company 3 and Framestore, I partnered with VFX and color teams to integrate work seamlessly into studio pipelines.

I've led editing teams on more than 50 high-profile projects and completed projects on time or ahead of schedule throughout my career.

My background also includes directing award-winning short films and commercials, editing immersive virtual reality content, supporting motion-capture productions at Wētā FX, and contributing to productions for Fox and NBC.
