I began my career as an architect in New York and designed several buildings, none of which were ever built. Frustrated, I turned to filmmaking to represent creative ideas relating to time, space, reality and the future. This lead to a series of short films that were screened at several festivals including onedotzero, Resfest, South by Southwest, 404 Festival and Bitfilm.
In 2006, I joined Tronic Studio as a designer and continued an interest in the intersections between digital representation and the built environment.
After Tronic, I was the creative director for Digital Kitchen New York from 2007 to 2010. With DK, I directed a broad range of advertising, entertainment and experience projects for Microsoft, Jose Cuervo, MTV, and HBO to name a few.
Recently, I've joined Nice Shoes to build a design and production studio to compliment their other well known color grading and visual effects capabilities. This is very exciting and we should have a small bevy of new work soon!
The tools I use to make stuff are various cameras, After Effects, Cinema 4D, Final Cut Pro along with Photoshop and Illustrator.
