With over 15 years of pre to post production experience, in the commercial, education, medical and nonprofit organization content creation, I have acquired the skills and knowledge to approach every project with creativity, care, attention and enthusiasm.
Expertise
I am an expert at creating animated graphics, sound design, 360 videos, and taking the journey high in the sky or far below the ocean surface via aerial imaging and underwater photography. I love to explore the world and surface stories yet to be told.
Creativity
In my roles as a producer, director, cinematographer, editor, and photographer, both on agency and client sides, I have always taken the time to understand what GREAT means to my client—that’s why the content I create is the best version of whatever it needs to be.
Based in Chicago with international experience
Whether I produce videos, shoot stills or act as a creative consultant on branding campaigns, I am always aiming to achieve my clients’ goals, create meaningful engagement, and meet expected ROI. Here’s why:
Passionate for great outcomes
My clients’ goals, budgets, and deadlines are my top priority when producing content. I love supporting my clients and helping them achieve campaigns that truly make a difference.
Creative mentality
The 15 years + spent in the visual production trenches have solidified a very resourceful frame of mind when it comes to producing creative visual content.
Visionary strategist
I have spent the last years creating and refining a method that has proven successful time and again in creating and strategizing the best possible content.
Inquisitive perspective
I love working with clients from various industries and learning as much as possible about their universe before leading the creative strategy. It is essential in delivering a remarkable product.
Budget orientated
Remarkable production skills coupled with years of budgeting experience and great communication, ensures that your project is delivered on-time and on budget.
Transparent and communicative
Constant communication right from the start of the project, weekly updates and production milestones are key to ensuring a happy and returning client.
