About
I make things with heart, humanity, and humor.
I’m the Creative Director at Melba Productions, which I help run with a few wildly talented friends in LA, New York & Texas. Along with short-form digital content, branded pieces, commercials, trailers, music videos, promos, and the like, Melba has made two award-winning feature docs, and we’re putting the finishing touches on our third.
As a Writer + Director + Producer-type human, my focus has always been working with and spotlighting underrepresented voices, a core principle at Melba.
Most importantly, I’m a proud dog dad to Freddie Mercury in Retrograde, and I’m obsessed with how bonobos run their communities.
