Designing the world.
Supporting the story.

My film work brings together production design, producing, and visual storytelling. Each project is a collaboration, shaped by the director’s vision and the people who bring it to the screen.

From design to film

A new medium.
A shared creative practice.

In 2022, a table read for Kim Machado’s Cold opened a new chapter in my creative work. That collaboration grew into production design and producing, followed by executive producing on True and Words.

Film brings many of the questions I care about into a different setting: what an audience notices, how a visual choice communicates, and how a team works together to realize an idea.
