About

With a decade of experience rooted in music video directing and film editing, I’m a visual storyteller who thrives on creating content that defies the norm. Throughout my career, I’ve led full-scale productions, directed top-performing commercials, and delivered video content that has collectively garnered millions of views. Recently, I’ve transitioned my cinematic background into the agency world, focusing on dynamic content creation and already becoming a Globe & Mail Young Lions winner. Whether I'm on set or in the edit bay, I am deeply passionate about pushing creative boundaries. I am a lifelong learner, constantly evolving my craft to find new, innovative ways to make brands stand out in a crowded digital landscape.
