Bio
I’m a Facebook marketplace warrior who moonlights as an ad creative. I love production and creating high level branding content that is conceptually strong, and I’m graduating from the BYU AdLab as a director. I go crazy for moody lightning and a good day on set. Secretly, I love good copy, killer typography, and horror movies. Not-so-secretly, my ukulele skills didn’t transfer to guitar quite the way I hoped.
Originally, I got into photography because I realized video games were never going to get me a girlfriend. And I wanted a girlfriend. Years later, that step into creative work has brought me here. So if at the end of all this, I just get to do cool work as a creative, I'd say that's a really close second to getting a girlfriend.
