I am a Creative Director and experienced photographer with 15 plus years of hands on work across editorial media, print, magazine imagery, branded campaigns, and commercial production. My foundation is in photography first, with a strong eye for composition, model direction, mood, and styling that has been shaped through years of real world creative execution. I have developed and led visual work across editorial, lifestyle, product campaigns, sports entertainment, and cinematic content, bringing ideas from concept through final delivery with a clear understanding of both aesthetic impact and production reality.

Branding Eyeroc Media
As Creative Director, Brand Manager, Photographer, and Video Production Manager, I helped grow the company from fashion, swimsuit, and editorial photography into commercial campaigns, celebrity and franchise work, dance team media, dealership marketing, salon and local business content, cinematic commercials, and festival-level narrative projects. I led the creative direction, visual identity, photography, video production, editing, client-facing execution, budget awareness, and team coordination while helping the brand adapt through the rise of Instagram and Meta/Facebook, including growing its Facebook presence to approximately 3.7K followers. The company’s growth proved my ability to build a creative brand, evolve with market demand, manage production from concept to delivery, and turn a small studio into a recognizable media company.

Video Production Work
A collection of commercial, campaign, and branded projects showing my range as a creative director, director, photographer, producer, and editor.
My advantage is executional literacy. I understand the creative idea, and from hands-on experience, I also understand the camera, lighting, location, crew, time, and budget required to bring it to life. That allows me to make sharper decisions, protect the image, control production waste, and direct teams with practical clarity.
This reel shows my ability to lead projects from concept to final delivery while managing real-world constraints such as, limited budgets, talent coordination, location decisions, visual style, production pivots, and post-production execution.
