Hello.

When I was eight, an old man used to ride his bike around our neighborhood in a golden thong.

I grew up in old‑school Austin, TX. I have a therapist and a comedian as parents, I went to a performing arts high school... Where I’m from, weirdness is normal & making things was encouraged.

At 8, I taught myself Photoshop so my LEGO stop‑motion figures could throw their lightsabers. By 10, I was creating my own After Effects tutorials and telling my little-league team I had video proof I could shoot lasers from my eyes. Video was just something that I got.

In High school, I started a business creating gameplay montages for Rocket League players all over the globe. Turns out, people like that stuff. I turned around and taught what I’d learned on my own channel and grew it to over 50k subs by the time I graduated.

At 18, I got a job offer from Epic Games that moved me out to San Diego. For three years there I:
  • Directed live shoots for crowds of 15 000+
  • Collaborated with brands like NFL, Disney, and Nike
  • Learned how to balance wild ideas with razor‑sharp deadlines (and budgets)

But what I gained in corporate jargon, I lost in the human element, helping people find and overcome new creative challenges.

Now I’m back in Austin chasing new creative rabbit holes—music, photography, painting, web design —and helping brands, artists, and humans tell stories that stick.










The “why” behind the work.


I believe wonder/uniqueness/quirk is a business advantage. When your audience is surprised, they share. Everything I make—live‑action, 3D or motion graphics—aims for that split‑second of delight that turns viewers into advocates.






Next step

Tell me what you’re launching (or dreaming about). I’ll help you shape the idea, build the piece, and ship it without headaches.
