I'm an American artist based in San Francisco. I used to make websites and apps. Now, I direct films.
From 2012-2016 I worked as an art director in Facebook's in house ad studio, The Factory. At Facebook I helped create some of the most watched personalized videos and interactive experiences on the internet. Examples include: Friends Day (1.32B. views), Year in Review (367M.), and A Look Back (250M.). Before that, I was the first designer at Postmates. I also helped start Peace Club.
Now, I write and direct commercials, short films, and music videos. You can see some of them below.
