My role is inspired by the power of collaboration. Witnessing the creative process unfold from a small idea into a refined, polished final product is truly amazing.
I turn to photography to maintain my creative inspiration and motivation. I carry a compact camera to remind myself to seek out beauty and interesting compositions in my surroundings. The act of actively searching for beauty not only enhances my visual perception but also consistently fuels my creative drive.
I wish I had understood that filmmaking is essentially a customer service industry. I had to learn that getting caught up in grandiose artistic visions can often lead to wasted efforts. As I’ve shifted my focus more towards serving the needs of those around me, whether that’s clients or crew members, I’ve found a deeper sense of fulfillment and success in my work.
I enjoy strength training, street photography & going on walks. I especially enjoy walks out in nature where I can reconnect with the natural world.
My all-time favorite movie is Interstellar. I'm very inspired by its beautiful cinematography, bold soundtrack, and the depth of its storyline. Every time I watch it, I'm reminded of what draws me to films and filmmaking in the first place.
