Work Experience

Freelance

Director, Writer, & VFX Art Director

I offer services as a director, taking initial ideas and fully developing them visually through pre-production, production, and post-production to create commercials, concept videos, and music videos.

I also offer a more unique service with visual effects art direction, which can help you more fully realize your vision of integrating visual effects into your production. I can help turn concepts into tangible effects by determining which effects are needed to best fit your story and ensure that they stay attainable throughout production.
