I'm a San Francisco based Director

As a former Art Director and Designer, I'm a visual Director who cares about aesthetics, a strong concept, and a compelling narrative. I'm interested in telling meaningful stories that push culture forward — creatively, socially, and politically. I also love a good underdog story. Above all, I love people and want my work to reflect that.

While my focus is directing, I often have my hands in a bunch of other projects from photography to music, architecture, and interior design. Most recently, I co-founded a design driven wellness practice with an innovative approach to opioid treatment and recovery living that treats space and community as integral components of treatment.

Previously, I was an Art Director at Facebook's in-house creative studio, The Factory, where I helped create some of the most watched personalized videos and interactive experiences on the internet — things like Friends Day (1.32B. views), Year in Review (367M.), and A Look Back (250M.).

Born into a military from Indiana, I grew up all over the country (plus a few years in Germany) before my family finally settled in Central Florida. Now I live and work in San Francisco.

If you're into what I'm into, say hi and let's make something together.

✊🏻 so much respect for this man.
Sorry, I’ve been raptured. Be back in 15.
Got to checkout the Donald Judd exhibit at @sfmoma last night. It was awesome to get to interact with pieces I’ve only ever seen photos of. The proportions and how it feels to use furniture like this is really interesting. Also cool to see some of the iterations along the way.
I moved to Florida when I was 15 and my first few summers here were unlike anything I’d ever experienced. . I’ve been away so long, I’m getting to relive some of that experience. This trip I’ve been struck by how moody and intense summer in Florida can be. It rains almost every day. The waves are flat. Clouds are dark, massive, and ominous. Weather changes in an instant. The temperature and humidity are both around 90. And it’s so hot and steamy it’s easy to feel a little stir crazy. By the time hurricane season starts, you’re so amped to get in the water you’ll try to surf almost anything now matter how big, small, or sloppy. I’m really enjoying getting to re-experience some of what made growing up here feel so special. . It’s been a fun and productive time with the @withpeaceclub team. Looking forward to being home in SF with @allievm tonight. I have a few new film projects in the works I’m excited to get busy on.
