Category Directing

I’m a creative director, filmmaker, and photographer with a decade of experience as a chef, which gives me a deep understanding of food culture and storytelling. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with Michelin-starred restaurants, James Beard award-winning chefs, and top culinary brands, creating work that highlights authenticity, sustainability, and the human stories behind the industry. My projects range from documentary filmmaking to high-impact commercial content, capturing the essence of chefs, restaurants, and the evolving food landscape. Based in California, I work across the U.S., crafting striking visuals and compelling narratives that bring food and culture to life.
