History
More than a decade in Set Design and Art Direction has given me professional on-set experience at some of the highest levels including crew management, budgeting, and elaborate problem solving.
I’ve spent over 15 years making photography, using 35mm, medium and large format 4x5 and 8x10 film cameras. These non-digital photographic processes have informed my understanding of light, color and space in a clear way that is integral to my filmmaking process.
Born and raised in CT. Lived on the Eastern seaboard and in London UK. Graduated from Bard College in 2002 with a degree in Photography.
