About

I'm a freelancer editor, DP, and director based in Chicago, Illinois. I love telling impactful stories across genres including documentary, narrative film, animation, music videos, and corporate projects.

As a DP I specialize in documentary and interview work; I've filmed in Poland, Ukraine, France, and the U.S. and am equally comfortable working in teams or as a solo shooter.

As an editor, I'm proficient in Premiere Pro, Resolve, Final Cut, After Effects, Capcut, Photoshop, and Motion 5. I'm always excited to explore new technologies in my work and have made extensive use of AI transcription, scene indexing, and text-based editing programs such as Descript, StoryToolkitAI, and Lumberjack Builder.

Whether collaborating to bring someone else's vision to life or working on personal projects, I take pride in creating unique and memorable work.
