Crafting Award-Winning Stories

Working with industry leaders on Hollywood's most prominent television, film, and animation projects.

My goal is to simplify your life. I start by understanding the unique needs of the editorial workflow. I then create a tailored plan to ensure every aspect of post-production runs smoothly. I know exactly what it takes to get from dailies to final delivery. My approach is proactive, detail-oriented, and flawlessly executed. You’ll feel confident knowing you are being assisted by a professional who cares as much about the final cut as you do.
