Freelance Filmmaker | DOP | AI Video, Photo Content Creator

About

I make films that move people — and strategies that make those films work for brands. I’m a Hybrid Cinematographer & Video Strategist with 4+ years of end-to-end experience across pre-production, production, and post-production. I craft brand-led & documentary video content from concept, script, and shot design through camera operation, on-set lighting, and editing to final delivery. My day-to-day covers: concept development, storyboards & shotlists; Director of Photography duties (camera operation, multi-camera setups, gimbal & drone workflows, lighting for interview and narrative shoots); and post workflows (assembly edit, color grading, sound design, proxies and organized media for fast turnarounds). I’ve produced films and campaign content for development sector reporting and fundraising, brand-first social media Ad campaigns, podcast video production, and long-form YouTube content. I partner with creative teams to translate strategy into production-ready treatments and deliverables that perform across platforms — from donor reports to short-form ad reels.
