The Long Story, Short(ish)

I’m a director and creative director who lives for the moment an idea becomes something real — something that connects with an audience. Directing has always been my creative center — there’s nothing I love more than being on set, shaping performance, and finding the visual language that brings a piece to life. Creative directing is fulfilling in a different way: guiding a team through the work, keeping it on brand, and making sure the final piece knows exactly what it wants to say and how it needs to land. That balance between big-picture thinking and hands-on craft is where I thrive, and each strengthens the other.

My work spans scripted branded short films, premium series launches, image campaigns, travel storytelling, and intimate doc-style content- different kinds of work, all asking for their own balance of story, strategy, and style. I’ve directed shoots across six continents, worked with A-list talent both lovely and…character-building, and am just as comfortable with a three-person crew in Morocco as I am with 80 people on a soundstage in LA.

The viewing landscape has shifted — streaming, digital, social — and the work has to meet audiences wherever they are. Mine does. What hasn’t changed is my belief in strong storytelling, visual intelligence, and emotional connection, wherever the work lives.That approach has earned awards including WARC Gold, Promax/GEMA Gold, and the NAACP Image Award for Best TV Documentary.

Outside of client work, I’m writing a screenplay I hope to direct one day, still entertaining my lifelong fantasy of becoming French, and procrastinating on my book, "The Hypochondriac’s Guide to Traveling the World: Or, How Do You Say Xanax in Dzongkha?"

I’m always interested in projects with a strong point of view, real substance, and somewhere to go — emotionally, visually, or geographically.

I’ll admit a particular weakness for anything set in Europe.
