01 / PORTFOLIO
Work in film, television, and game cinematics.
Industrial Light & Magic
2021 – Present
NON-COMMERCIAL WORK
Once, someone would have worried about a scratch.
Now an Aventador SVJ sits beneath a broken highway, roots working their way into places once assembled by hand.
So much of what made it worth a fortune existed outside the car itself. Anyone passing through would have more pressing things to worry about.
You remember which window would open at the sound of your footsteps. Standing beneath it now, you find yourself listening for someone who may have left years ago.
You raise your lantern toward the buildings, carrying the small, unreasonable hope that somewhere behind these doors, your arrival still matters.
From shore, a voyage looks like a line drawn between two places. Out here, every mile has to be negotiated with the sea.
For the people aboard, everything they hope to become could depend on reaching the other side.
Behind them, the water is already closing over the way they came.
The walls have long outlived the people who raised them. Rain runs over their work, and roots have slowly found the spaces between the stones.
A sword lies beside a helmet, a skull still inside.
Yet the torches are lit.
The fish turns in a few inches of water.
From outside the glass, the boundaries of its world are easy to recognize. Watching it, I wonder about the limits we’ve lived with long enough to stop noticing. How much might lie within reach of us, quietly gathering dust?

Workstation, keyboard, and peripherals.
04 / PHYSICAL PROJECTS
Prints, modifications, and builds.
05 / ABOUT
I want to build worlds that feel as though they existed long before the camera arrived.
Places with a history you can sense without being told. Where even an empty room feels like someone has just left. An environment might only appear on screen for a few seconds, but I want you to believe there’s somewhere to go beyond the edge of the frame.
Making that happen means understanding how things work. I’m drawn to the mechanics behind an image, and I enjoy working through the stubborn problems that stand between an idea and something convincing. Sometimes that means building an environment. Sometimes it means writing the tool I wish I’d had when I started.
Away from the screen, there’s usually a camera within reach and something in pieces on my workbench. Photography makes me pay closer attention to the world. Building and repairing things gives me a way to get my hands into it. I can lose hours to the way a material catches the light, or to getting two parts to fit just right.
