ABout me


I am a filmmaker, cinematographer, editor, and videographer based between Chicago and Los Angeles. Having a background in documentary filmmaking I am always thinking on my feet and problem solving with any challenge that comes my way. This mindset has helped me create exciting and immersive imagery for brands such as Dickies, Calia, Dicks Sporting Goods, and Royal Robbins, to name a few. In the fall of 2022 I shot and edited Dickies first social media campaign for their newest brand launch “Dickies: Blank Canvas” which sold out almost immediately after the videos dropped. I also have three years of experience art directing for Nike Eccomerce. This has made my attention to detail sharp and taught me to give concise feedback delivered to a team.

My work as a director and cinematographer on feature length and short films have been featured in world renowned festivals such as The Chicago International Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Jeonju International Film Festival, and Edinburg International Film Festival. My work as the cinematographer for the feature length documentary, "The Harvest" earned me a nomination for “National Geographic Award for Best Cinematography” at Millenium Docs in 2019.
