Born, raised, and based in LA, up to date on all the latest tech (borderline obsessively), and willing to travel.

 

Filmmaking and photography are mediums I care immensely about. I've found that I prioritize education—staying on the cutting edge of tech releases and advancements, as well as creative filmmaking techniques. Over my years of industry experience I've been steadily growing the volume of gear I can bring onto projects, with a particular focus on grip and lighting equipment, curating vintage lens sets, as well as building a color suite for myself.

When it comes to working behind the camera, I pride myself in having attention to detail with shaping light in a way that supports the world my team is creating. This particular focus crosses into my approach to color. I utilize color theory and color science to create a cohesive palette, enhance the subject matter, and create depth.

​

I have a BFA in Film Production with an emphasis in cinematography from Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. During my time there I took an opportunity for an internship at Light Iron. Prior to that, I worked as an assistant editor for Long Beach Film Company after becoming certified in Final Cut Pro at age 16.
