Howdy! 🤠
A little bout me; I grew up in central Minnesota in a family full of right-brainers. My dad was an Art Director and Photographer for a magazine company, and my mom ran a side business as a Videographer. While I didn’t play many sports growing up, I spent my time drawing and making "movies," a passion that unknowingly shaped my career. Today, filmmaking is at the heart of what I love doing, and I’m eager to expand it into a larger part of my professional life.
When I’m not working, you can find me capturing self-portraits, filming short films, or painting. To unwind, I love being outside, whether I'm long-boarding, skateboarding, biking, or jamming out to my favorite tunes.
Skills ✍🏻
GRAPHIC DESIGN
As an Enneagram type 1—the perfectionist—I believe the devil is in the details, and I won’t miss them. Every design decision is deliberate, ensuring that the final product is nothing short of perfect.
PHOTOGRAPHY
My parents handed me my first digital camera when I was 8, and I’ve been obsessed with capturing moments ever since. Photography is my way of freezing time and telling stories through light, composition, and emotion.
VIDEOGRAPHY
My first camera came from my parents—oh wait, I already mentioned that. Video is one of the most powerful storytelling mediums, and I’m in love with it. Honestly, every night could be a movie night—heck, make it a double feature.
