Besides passionately helping brands wow their audiences, I also like to do the following:
Drink two iced coffees per day
Ride my motorcycle
Spend time with my beautiful partner <3
Read, read, and read some more
Be the mentor I wanted
Watch Youtube videos to learn a thing or two
Notion my life away
if you didn’t get enough of me yet, check out my Instagram :)

PS: my formal resume is below
(oh calm down, mr. serious pants)
I started creating videos in 2015 when my friends and I filmed a music video using a navy blue sheet, a cheap work light from the hardware store, and my parent’s garage.
about a year later I moved to shanghai and started working my first corporate job. I quit in less than two months after realizing it wasn't for me.
Armed with a camera, a laptop, and the knowledge i had from making videos with my friends, i decided to pursue my passion. That landed me a job as the in-house director of photography for a production company based in shanghai, china.
After four years there, i decided to move back to california to join youthbeat, a non-profit in oakland creating media career pathways for diverse storytellers, as their creative director.
