About
I’m a Creative Director, Cinematographer, Creative Strategist and Producer with a filmmaker’s eye and a designer’s meticulous attention to detail. I thrive on creating top-tier visuals, merged with sharp, compelling copy to craft exceptional stories, ads and commercial spots for captivating customer campaigns.
With over a decade in the industry, I've worn many hats—Creative Director, Director of Photography, Strategist, Media Manager, Producer, Designer and Copywriter. At the HQ, I am typically devising campaign strategy for clients, shot listing and storyboarding for an upcoming brand initiative or campaign, or interpreting data and consumer feedback from a campaign I’m already managing. And in the studio or on location, I specialize in directing, lighting and photography/cinematography. In the edit bay, I have the knowledge and skill to process visuals, manipulate and package them, and deliver world-class advertising and marketing-based content. Because of this, I've been fortunate enough to be able to collaborate with first-class ad and marketing agencies, video production companies, and design consultancies around the globe.
My journey began as a product designer for renowned brands such as Hasbro, Philips, Motorola, Milton Bradley, Whirlpool, and Sony. I became interested in photography and filmmaking, which led me to explore project-based work in documentary film and commercial video. My background in design gave me a unique perspective for visual storytelling, and commercial, social content and feature film work quickly became a new focus.
I've had the pleasure of creating content for brands of all sizes, including Jergens, John Frieda, Christian Moerlein, Hudepohl, Penn Station, Evenflo, The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Wham-O to name a few. My career has allowed me to collaborate with an array of talents, from Robert Redford and Jay Leno, to Elisabeth Moss and the late Burt Reynolds.
Currently, I serve as the full-time Director of Creative and Strategy at a leading media production house in Cincinnati, Ohio. Beyond my full-time role, I continue to embrace creative opportunities, pursuing ventures and partnerships that ignite my passion.
