About

“I gave her my heart, but she wanted my souL”

I’m a creative director who focuses on content and social media. I’ve spent the last decade making things like videos, photos, campaigns and weird little edits that help people connect with brands in a more real way.

What sets me apart is that I do it all myself when I need to. I shoot, edit, produce, color, sound design, the full thing. I’m comfortable running with a full crew or just a backpack and a camera. That kind of freedom lets me move fast and stay hands-on with the work.

My favorite part of the job? Telling stories that actually feel human. That’s what I care about. Finding the heart of something and turning it into content that doesn’t feel like “content.”

Oh, and I also love design and nerd out on AI tools whenever I get the chance.
