I DIRECT STUFF
I ALSO PRODUCE, WRITE AND CREATE THINGS
If it were as easy as what’s on my title up there, I’d be sipping a piña colada on a beach right now! But nope, 85% of my job is problem-solving, which basically means I’m a professionaluggler—except the balls are on fire and I’m blindfold. But hey, surprises are just plot twists in the movie of life, right?
Who wants everything to be easy anyway? That’d be incredibly boring!
I just want things to be pretty, like a unicorn in a tutu!

My Finest Brushstrokes
Here are some works I am always happy to show when anyone asks about what I've done. I would gladly add some fine game stuff here too, but frankly, the games are huge works of art of their own and cannot be presented on this tiny little page to the value they deserve .
Hopefully you'll enjoy the selected works below.
Feel free to jump to Vimeo to review my entire history of filmmaking.
