I'm a video producer and editor in the SF Bay Area, with a B.A. from SF State and a professional certificate from San Francisco Film School. Over the last ten years I've worked on trailers for Crunchyroll, including Attack on Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen 0. I've shot and edited AI course content for Andrew Ng's team at DeepLearning.AI, and delivered 50+ projects through Calhoon Productions, including work for Pixar co-founder Ed Catmull. It started in 2002, making short films at age nine.

Anyone can post a video now. What's harder is making someone stop, watch, and trust you.

Whether you need a full production or an editor who'll get it right the first time, let's talk.

Video producer and editor with 10 years of experience across streaming, edtech, and brand content. Produced marketing assets for Crunchyroll through a subscriber run from 3M to 9M, and currently shoots and edits technical course content for DeepLearning.AI.

Equally comfortable running a solo shoot end to end or plugging into an established studio team. Based in Sunnyvale, available for in-person production throughout the Bay Area and remote post anywhere. Open to full-time roles and freelance contracts.
