"I blend my 12+ years of experience in video production with my love of story. Since 2010 I have worked in every area of video production through documentary, corporate and narrative productions. Operating my own small production company has allowed me the opportunity to communicate directly with clients, understand their business needs, and develop a video plan together. Working with small businesses has taught me to be flexible, scrappy, and work with what is available while still achieving great results. Working with agencies has given me the opportunity to work with larger teams and tight schedules. In 2020 I started to niche down and focus on video editing and 2D animation – a goal of mine for many years has finally been realized. Now I use what I’m learning in illustration, motion design and animation to bring new ways of communicating big ideas to awaiting audiences. I work with people, companies and talent from around the world. Let’s chat!"
