PICS

I’ve always wanted to make movies, but in the last few years I have been focused on music videos as a primary output. I’m very inspired by the new age of YouTube filmmaking, which lends itself to less restraints than a the studio system previous generations have grown up aspiring to. Zach Schy is my primary inspiration in that field.

I spent my final year at the UO as a part of the extensive creative team for the athletics department. I’ve always loved sports, so this was awesome. I got great professional experience that required me to check quality and brand boxes, while also bringing my own spin and creativity to the table.

About Me

22 years old, born and raised in Portland, Oregon, and freshly graduated from the University of Oregon. I currently specialize in video production and editing, but spent several years focused on digital art and graphic design. I’m invested and educated in all parts of the creative process, and above all else, just want to make cool stuff.

I was on a hike with my friend Toby and at one point, in the middle of a random conversation, he said something along the lines of, “Let’s just stop and just stare for a second.” We were overlooking a small valley of forrest, but there was nothing extraordinary about the view in front of us that we hadn’t already seen. (Still writing this part).
