Your best ideas come easily to you.
Trust your intuition.

Along with cinema and culture, my relationship with nature has shaped the way I see and create. I grew up near in wooded area in Maryland, where exploring unfamiliar places gave me an early fascination with atmosphere, mystery and the unknown.

That instinct still fuels my work today. My practice moves between design, filmmaking and art direction – often beginning with observation and allowing an idea to reveal itself through the process.

I’m drawn to places with a strong sense of character: coastlines, forests, deserts, old structures and overlooked spaces. Traveling and spending time in unfamiliar environments keeps me curious and reminds me to pay attention and be present.

I’m interested in making work that make people feel something. Work that creates connection, preserves a feeling, or helps us see something familiar differently.
