I'm a creative director, director, and founder. I build cinematic worlds — the kind a brand can step inside — about how people make identity, belonging, and power through culture.
I move between observation and world-building: watching how people actually live, then constructing the universe that lets you feel it. Beauty as armor, femininity as performance, light and the darkness right beside it — I'm drawn to duality, and I build emotional points of entry on every side of it.
I'm the founder, creative director, and executive producer of Bloodbath Studio, a collaborative art, fashion, and media platform I started in Austin. Over four years it's grown into 8+ film, fashion, and performance productions and a run of annual ~500-person events — LUCK, VENERATION, METANOIA — funded three times by the City of Austin's Economic Development Department, engaging 600+ artists and audiences. I make things that don't exist yet. That tenacity — forging the path through every city and project — is the throughline of my work.
As a director and cinematographer I've made commercial and branded work for Dell, Square, Procter & Gamble, H-E-B, Netflix, Nike, Indeed, Sonos, PBS, and Beats, and shot for The New York Times, BBC, Al Jazeera, and Travel Channel. My fashion film work earned Best Fashion Film at the 2025 Sarajevo Fashion Film Festival and an Official Selection at NYCIFF 2025. I'm also co-director of I NEED SPACE, a multi-year hybrid documentary on Austin's queer creative scene.
The ideas I return to: identity, culture, performance, belonging, beauty as power. The brands I want to build with are the ones telling cultural, lifestyle, fashion, beauty, music, and travel stories — work with a point of view.
I'm rooted in Austin, where the independent spirit and ease of connection made it possible to build a life on my own terms — and I work worldwide. Austin is the place I leave from and come back to.
If you're running a campaign and you want someone to direct the whole world of it — let's talk.
