Ripple Effect
Featuring Kelly Burton 

Writer, Producer, Director, DP 

Between major projects, I wanted to use the time to tell a story with real impact. After connecting with the team behind eBay’s Foundation, I was introduced to Kelly Burton and the Black Innovation Alliance. A week later, I was in Atlanta learning about the incredible work she’s doing to support Black entrepreneurs in building lasting wealth. Kelly was inspiring, full of energy, and the trip made me fall in love with ATL.

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.
