I’m a filmmaker and Creative Producer specializing in taking projects from concept to final delivery. Whether working solo on modest budgets or directing national campaigns, my focus is always on impactful ideas and polished execution.My commercial directing work on national campaigns has earned a Silver Clio Award, a Bronze Cannes Lion for WestJet Desert Roulette, and two Gold Promax Awards. In the narrative space, my short film The Other Side of Morning won Best Short at the 13th Annual Sioux City International Film Festival.With a background spanning writing, cinematography, and post-production, I bring a comprehensive, story-driven perspective to every frame.In my spare time, I shoot cinematic videos of Toronto for social media, and compose and produce orchestral music with behind-the-scenes content on YouTube.
