I’m a director, cinematographer, and editor with experience in commercial, short-form documentary, and branded content. My work has taken me around the globe for major brands and companies such as Google, Subaru, Hyundai, Aleve, and Adidas.
Originally from Scotland, I’ve lived in the United States since the late 90s but continue to travel back and forth. I cut my teeth in NYC at LonelyLeap Films and Warner Media, but I now call Chicago home.
I’d love to collaborate with you on your next project.
