About

I'm a producer from San Diego with a UCSD degree in Interdisciplinary Computing and Arts. I've produced launch videos for three Y Combinator companies, documentary work for a non-profit, and coordinated shoots for national brands.

I like owning the whole thing: the budget, the hires, the schedule, and the final cut.
