2024 Swimsuit Collections

Every beginner filmmaker’s weakness is the desire to just put together a vibe piece without any concept 😭 Lucky me, Nani took me to Hawaii to make videos for the swimsuit collections they dropped throughout the year.

Memento Mori

J LARSEN PRODUCTIONS

After my first year of content creating, I took the opportunity to make a video showcasing my work with an idea that speaks to me - “memento mori,” remember death.

Duolingo & Dragons

DUOLINGO x DUNGEONS & DRAGONS

This is work from my junior year as a director in the lab, but the real magic of the campaign comes from the collab activation — a D&D campaign book, “Call of the Owl’s Keep.” But we had a fun opportunity to channel some Stranger Things vibes and put together a beautifully art directed spot.

STEPHEN COLBERT

No words gave me more hope than Colbert’s as I struggled through my divorce. The thought that I may someday be in a place where I could look at that devastation as a blessing helped me to keep getting out of bed. Here is an edited version of his interview with Andersen Cooper with some of my favorite shots.

Here are some mockups and figma boards from when we were applying to Y Combinator in San Francisco. We made it to the top 10% of applicants but were not accepted, unfortunately.
