Driven by a lifelong love of film, I’ve spent the past 20 years in the post-production space, where editing became both my craft and creative outlet.
I view every project as a puzzle, and I thrive on piecing together the elements to create content that emotionally resonates with the viewer. Connecting brands and ideas with audiences in authentic and meaningful ways remains at the center of everything I do.
Having built a foundation at some of Chicago’s top independent post houses, I have refined my creative voice and gained a comprehensive understanding of how to approach projects from every angle. I bring a unique blend of creativity, strategic thinking, and meticulous project management to every job. My experiences have taught me to always stay focused on the smallest details while keeping the bigger picture in mind.
After working across a range of video formats—broadcast, web, and social (to name a few) —I took on a new challenge: partnering directly with the in-house brands of household giant Whirlpool. I’ve long been involved in growing post teams and refining workflows, but building one from the ground up was a challenge I eagerly embraced. Today, the team runs smoothly while maintaining the high standards of creativity and quality.
Working with each brand under the Whirlpool umbrella has deepened my understanding of how to tailor content to each brand’s unique voice and needs. Having the opportunity to collaborate with creative teams before production begins is something I continue to look forward to and learn from.
When I’m not editing, you’ll find me designing furniture, cooking, playing tennis, and getting my hands dirty in the garden.
