   As both Director and Creative Director, I’ve brought bold, visually driven storytelling to a wide range of platforms—from directing music videos for Alice In Chains and Saosin, to launching cinematic promos for SyFy, National Geographic, and FOX Sports. I’ve had the privilege of crafting narratives alongside legendary filmmakers like Terrence Malick, Ridley Scott, Zack Snyder, and Julie Taymor—each collaboration sharpening my ability to merge artistic vision with strategic execution. My work spans digital, social, OOH, and broadcast, always rooted in a concept-first approach and backed by sharp creative instincts. Whether leading on-set direction or bridging the gap between clients and artists, I’ve been the creative anchor ensuring every detail aligns with the bigger picture while being recognized by The Art Director’s Club, D & AD, and Communication Arts.
