About

I produce and edit short-form video content for founders, brands, and artists. My work has driven over 200 million views across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook.

I currently run FounderYP, a content system for founders — one filmed interview becomes a month of distributable short-form content. Before this, I co-ran Social Cinema, a music video and short-form production company in Los Angeles working with major-label artists.

Based in San Diego. Available for select projects.
