“Brilliant chaos”

That’s how Tony Hawk described my award-winning skate film “One More Try, which was awarded Vimeo's "Best of the Year" badge in 2023. It actually gets to the heart of what I want people to experience as a filmmaker.

I’m an LA-based filmmaker known for fusing experimental techniques and storytelling. My collage-based music video “Walk the Walk” screened at the 2019 SXSW Film Festival and my videos have earned Vimeo Staff Picks and other recognition in styles ranging from live action to CG to pixel art animation.

I’m an inventor on two patents in the field of computer graphics and started my career at Pixar working on Toy Story 3 and Monsters University.
