Creative Producer & Filmmaker
I'm a creative producer and filmmaker with 15+ years of experience telling stories that move hearts and minds. My work spans Emmy Award-winning documentaries and large-scale brand campaigns for companies like Venmo and WhatsApp.
I've always made films about things that matter—stories that unpack complexity and dream up new possibilities. My approach combines dynamic storytelling with strategic branded content production, translating complex ideas into engaging visual narratives.
Documentary work that reveals shared realities and illuminates stories from perspectives often overlooked.
