Freelance media specialist with years of experience in previz, capture, and post production.
Orchestrating compelling stories has been a passion of mine since childhood. Today, I’m dedicated to a nuanced understanding of composition, editing, and all visual principles.
My time in video media started out with a love for games. Every genre, all systems, any era. Sharing tips and secrets, building communities, and publishing videos with my friends, it wasn’t so much the playing as it was the discussion afterwards. Minecraft servers, speedruns, machinima, every last one revolved around capturing and editing my own footage. As a result, the processes and intricacies of media content creation have been with me for more than 10 years.
In the years that followed, I developed a strong passion for photography, and ultimately, film. Seattle’s Academy of Interactive Entertainment gave me the opportunity to learn multiple disciplines at once, all while collaborating with other visual artists, animators, and game developers. In 2018, I oversaw the production of multiple small-team projects at school, including a trailer for an official Ravensburger board game.
I graduated with a degree in 3D Animation and Visual Effects in Film.
In the years since, I’ve had many empassioned professional experiences in video production while writing, capturing, directing, and editing. Over a hundred games, three states, and so many new faces. Adaptability and collaboration are a constant neccessity, but they permit me chances to make new friends, to try new things, and to always be improving my skills!
