About Me

I’ve worked on sets for ten years, on varied projects including television, comedy sketches, commercial gigs and short films. From script to set my favorite projects are when I’m able to be involved the whole way but I can jump into a project at any stage.

Artistic problem-solving comes naturally to me and projects that challenge me on multiple levels excite and ignite me. I’m always ready for a challenge, and believe its important to stay flexible because of the endless ways to solve a problem.

I enjoy crafting featured props, and I can direct the set flips effectively and efficiently, as well sourcing props and dressing with budget in mind.

I bring my natural ability for design and flair to make the vision for a project into a reality on set. I always keep an eye on detail to maintain continuity.

I enjoy being part of a team of creatives working together to bring a project into reality. I love imagining all of the future projects I will be able to help on, meeting new people and honing my skills.
