In My Own Words
I've worn many hats, but the ideas have all come from the same head. I've been a Creative Director, an Art Director, a Photographer, a Copywriter, a Graphic Designer, and a Vlogger.
I can start from nothing, create an idea, plan it, shoot it, edit it and distribute it out to the world all in one pass. Being able to create at every stage of the storytelling and filmmaking process has been what I’ve built my career around. The more I can do, the better I understand the flow of the project, the deeper I can pull the audience in to the story. And this skillset transcends even videos, as I can apply this process to photography, graphic design, branding, and even copywriting. I do this because I love to create new pieces of content that will entertain or inspire or excite anyone that’s willing to watch.
Work Experience
Content Creator / Co-Founder
Buck & Under Media2018 – 2019
I was the co-founder of Buck and Under Media. I would concept brand videos and marketing materials, design them and produce them. Buck & Under Media was born out of a need to tell amazing stories in a fast paced world of visual junk food. Our focus is to craft videos and photography content that grabs attention, sparks inspiration, and tells the unique story of our client's brand. We focus on travel, action, adventure, and anything that stirs up the imagination and sense of wonder.
Creative Director
JMP Creative2013 – 2018
I was the Creative Director for social media content department and toy design shop at JMP Creative. I led video production teams and directed and edited videos. I also shoot photos and fly drones. Because I love anything that can create an image and tell a story. When I wasn't producing videos, I ran production schedules, jumped into brainstorming sessions, built graphics for brand videos and got my hands dirty at any part of the production pipeline.
Creative Director
Monster VR (Now known as Reality Smash VR)2016 – 2017
I worked with the amazing team at Monster VR as their Creative Director. We created several games and marketing experiences for the VR platform using the Unity Engine. I helped guide the creative as well as jumping in to model and texture assets when needed. Several notable projects we created was the Sweet Escape VR game for the Steam platform, an icelandic themed VR marketing experience for Reyka Vodka, and a virtual tour for the tech section of University fo California Irvine (UCI).

At Lucasfilm Animation, I was an Environment Artist on the Clone Wars TV show and had been for nearly five years.

The team and I also won two Emmy's for the Clone Wars TV show.
