I am an enthusiastic, multi-skilled, creative Cameraman / Editor. A passionate filmmaker, I have extensive experience in shooting and editing corporate, social, editorial and promotional video content.
My work has been featured in TIME, GQ, Monocle, Highsnobiety, The Future Laboratory and A/J +, ATTN and BBC.
Quick to grasp new ideas and concepts, I strive to develop innovative and creative solutions to problems. Working under tight deadlines has become second nature and I have developed a strong ability to perform effectively under pressure – alone and as part of a team.
A future thinker, I am fanatical about technology and began my career with Apple. I endeavor to tell the stories of those who are both masters and leaders of their craft within my own distinct and aesthetically rich, visual style.
