I have made it my mission to cultivate beauty through production design for film and television. Building a world in which a story takes place can be overwhelming, but a commitment to excellence, imagination, and a deep desire to help people rise with me empowers me to face each new challenge.
Whether you need a strong art director to come aboard and lead a team through the process of conception to creation, or a production designer to sculpt the visual story from its backbone to its final flourishes, I am ready to work to make your vision a reality.

I am a certified Backyard Grill Master. Just missing the backyard...and well, the grill.
I thought I wanted to be a spy. I would carve out sticks, put messages in them and leave them for my neighborhood friends to find.
I saw "Star Wars - Return of the Jedi" first.
I’ve always believed I was meant to make something out of nothing. Whether it was throwing over-the-top themed parties, crafting a perfect cocktail, or getting lost alone in a book — creativity has always been my default state. I was even grounded from reading as a child.
Naturally introverted, I’ve spent countless hours in my own “mind palace,” imagining, problem-solving, and building worlds. Creating environments that leave a lasting impression has always been central to my work, just as important as finding smarter, more supportive ways to lighten my team’s load and contribute to a healthy, collaborative atmosphere.

Fun Facts about my World
Growing up, I was obsessed with expressing myself through creating beauty. I made clothes for my dolls out of leaves, built forts from weather balloons (there’s a story there), staged absurd little plays, and endlessly rearranged my room. I loved watching how the spaces and objects I created affected the people around me.
That curiosity became clarity — I knew I had to find a way to bottle that feeling and build a life around it.
