Event Sizzle 
SIGGRAPH 2019

Producer

This sizzle for Unreal Engine’s 2019 SIGGRAPH event was one of the last shoots I traveled for before the world shut down. We filmed in downtown LA and had a great time soaking in the keynotes, with standout moments from speakers like Jon Favreau and industry leaders across VFX, games, and design. The goal was to publish mid-event to drive last-minute attendance, so the crew and I pulled an all-nighter to turn it around fast. Totally worth it and I didn’t mind the triple overtime either.

THE PRODUCER


Senior Creative Producer and Cinematographer with a track record of delivering high-impact content for social, paid, and broadcast. I can do it all, from working in the field as a one-person crew to leading full-scale productions, studio builds, and strategic oversight. At eBay, I built and now run the in-house studio, managing creative from concept to delivery. My experience spans commercial campaigns, corporate storytelling, and episodic television. I bring a sharp eye, a calm presence, and a flexible approach to every project I take on.
THE PERSON


Bay Area native who started making videos in middle school, cutting skate tapes with a borrowed camcorder and two VCRs. In high school I leaned into video production, then joined the United States Air Force and served as an air traffic controller at Yokota Air Base in Tokyo. After the military, I went to film school and graduated valedictorian. I’m into live music, creative side projects, and keeping good company with close friends, and family. I don’t mind pressure, I figure things out fast, and I’m always up for whatever comes next.
