Some of the things i’ve made!
Big Sur has a way of making you feel small in the best possible sense. As the drone operator, I set out to capture its vastness, texture, and quiet power from a perspective that feels both intimate and infinite. This piece was filmed during the height of COVID, when the world had slowed and the coastline existed in a rare stillness, even as wildfires left their presence across the land. That tension between resilience and fragility became the emotional core of the film. It stands as both a tribute to the enduring beauty of nature and a reflection of a moment in time when everything felt uncertain, yet the earth remained steady.
I created this short as a job advertisement for myself, using Animal Crossing as the medium to showcase both my editorial skill and creative voice. Every element was custom-built, from the room layout precisely mirroring my real-world editing setup to the carefully timed character animations that reflect the rhythm and intention of an edit. I expanded beyond the game through compositing and motion design, including custom dialogue bubbles (made in after effects) and visual enhancements to create a seamless, polished experience. Enjoy myself version of a portrait disguised as a job ad.
Driven by a love of tinkering and building, I created a giant functional Game Boy for Nickelodeon’s Gamer Gallery, blending physical fabrication, electronics, and playful design into a single piece. What began as a passion project quickly took on a life of its own, resonating far beyond its original context and gaining widespread attention online. The project was later featured in the Halloween edition of HackSpace Magazine, a moment that felt both surreal and deeply affirming. It represents more than a build, it’s a reflection of my instinct to explore, experiment, and blur the line between art and technology, and the fulfillment of a lifelong dream to create something that connects with people.
Surfing is what first deepened my connection to the ocean (besides fishing), and this short was my way of capturing that same euphoric feeling through the lens. Filmed along the coast of Santa Barbara, I focused on the quiet moments, the steady breath of the waves, the shifting light, and the stillness that exists within constant motion. I’m especially drawn to the way the fog rolls across the water, softening the horizon and wrapping the coastline in something almost otherworldly. This piece is a reflection of the calm, clarity, and quiet energy I always find at the ocean’s edge.
