Creative director · visual storyteller

I make films and
brand worlds that stay with people.

Fifteen years directing film, brand, and editorial work for studios, founders, and independent makers — from a single story film to a full launch world.

Coast Reporter

Short, useful community updates for Sunshine Coast readers: explainers, local issue clips, event coverage, and clear story packaging.

Next move: Build a recurring local video desk with story intake, shoot lists, and weekly publish rhythm.

I start with the why, not the shot list. The best work comes from understanding what a story is really for — then making something that earns attention.

01 / Listen

Every project starts with a long conversation. What's the point of this? Who's it for? What do you want someone to feel and do?

02 / Shape

I build one clear creative idea — a script, a look, a motion language — small enough to hold in your head and strong enough to scale.

03 / Make

Then I direct, shoot, and edit it end to end, with a small trusted crew — so the thing that ships is the thing we agreed on, made well.
