I'm a Chicago-based videographer, photographer, and brand strategist working at the intersection of narrative film and commercial craft.
Over the last several years I've shot everything from runway events and nonprofit campaigns to corporate brand films and product launches — for clients including DMDII, Fictiv, Rohana Wheels, Selective Search, and Habitat for Humanity.
What ties the work together is an obsession with the frame: how a shot is composed, what's said in the cut, and the emotional throughline that makes a brand story feel like a film instead of an ad.
Every cut earns its place. Pacing, sound design, and color are treated as part of the story, not as post-production polish. The edit is where the film becomes itself.
Place is a character. Whether it's Chicago rooftops or remote locations, I capture the texture of where you are — light, geography, atmosphere — as part of the story.
No template playbook. Every project starts with the question: what would make this unforgettable? Then the production answers it. Format follows idea.
