what i do

I partner with brands, organizations, and newsrooms to produce visual stories. I work across the full production process, from planning and filming to leading full production teams, editing and photography. Many of my previous projects have been overseas documentaries, high profile individual interviews, social content for brands, and polished videos for broadcast, digital, and marketing platforms.

Whether supporting an in-house team, leading a production, or collaborating with an agency, I enjoy working with each party to create something special.

From story development to final delivery, I have lead productions across 50+ countries. I manage the planning and coordination behind a project, including story development, research, interview planning, scheduling, travel logistics, permits, crew coordination, and production management. Whether it's a local shoot or an international production, I help make sure everything comes together before the cameras roll.
I film interviews, documentaries, branded content, breaking news, events, and social media campaigns in a variety of environments. My experience ranges from solo productions to larger crews, with projects spanning more than 50 countries and everything from corporate offices to remote villages in the arctic.
I edit long-form documentaries, broadcast television, short-form social content, and branded videos. My work includes everything from story editing and color correction to sound design, and final delivery for web, broadcast, and social platforms.
I provide photography alongside video production for editorial, documentary, corporate, events, and marketing projects. Whether capturing portraits, travel imagery, live events, or behind-the-scenes moments, I create images that complement the story and fit the needs of the project.
