artist’s statement
I am a writer/director and ICVFX stage operator for stories that bend and pierce reality creatively and technically. I am obsessed with science and climate fiction, alien worlds (including our own!), anthropology, postmodernism, transhumanism, and XR technology, and gravitate toward stories that rewrite existing narratives. I want to make things that redefine the use cases for our wildest dreams, accessing both modern and ancient mindsets through story, color, sound, and fury.
I chase collaborative knowing, truth, and reality in everything I do and learn. I love stories that take twists and turns, landing viewers in a web of revelation and I strive to create that sensation in my own work. I am driven by characters and stories that overcome tremendous odds and impossible circumstances, ranging from acceptance of the terrible to triumph over adversity, generating hope and energy for all in the future.
As a filmmaker I gravitate toward cinematography that stays with the character through chaos and intense motion. As a 3D environment and mixed reality artist, I seek to create the kind of abstract visuals, colors, lighting, and musical visual rhythm that give unspeakable meaning and life to ideas, worlds, and artifacts just out of reach of comprehension. My favorite aesthetics are terra futura, dark fantasy, biophilic brutalism, and solar punk, and my subsequent journeys include holography, robotics and autonomous systems, projection mapping, and photogrammetry. In achieving final pixel, I enjoy alternating deliberate pacing with satisfying motion.
I love oppositions and contrasts, the myth of balance, and the constancy of chaos and rhythm that permeates every moment. I believe that we live in a constant unfolding of a universe that defies explanation until the very instant we cease creating it. I work to understand, and if that journey is infinite, then so is understanding, and so are we.
With hands-on experience in roles ranging from 1st Assistant Director to Virtual Production Supervisor, I have a deep understanding of on-set workflows, and I value inclusivity, empathy, and teamwork first and foremost.
I'm someone you can rely on to enter any situation and quickly identify needs, and inclusive and effective solutions. My experience and education have equipped me to engage in any practice with enthusiasm and clarity—whether that’s coordinating departments, anticipating creative or technical challenges, or ensuring smooth integration between camera, VFX, and LED volumes. I pride myself on being proactive, adaptable, and fully immersed in the success of the shoot. I thrive under pressure, stay calm in chaos, and bring sharp observation, focused energy, and a collaborative spirit to every project.
If you're looking for a driven, capable, and versatile team member who’s ready to contribute from day one, I’m ready to be on set and make things happen.
