I make ideas visible—then make them hold up.
Creative direction, design, motion and practical effects for entertainment.
I’m a filmmaker, designer, editor and effects maker. I like work with a strong idea, a clear point of view, and enough craft behind it that the trick survives close inspection.
Sometimes that means pitching four title worlds and building one into a television opening. Sometimes it means a miniature, a fog rig, a same-day joke, or a line that still lands in another language.
I’m happiest at the point where the idea stops being theoretical and has to become real.
