Everything
is interesting.

For over fifteen years, I've specialized in turning complex global issues — displacement, conflict, public health, climate — into films that move people to act.

I currently work as a key member of the video team at UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, creating content that reaches audiences across 130+ countries. Before Geneva, I directed shoots across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America for organizations including the World Economic Forum, the Clinton Global Initiative, and the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
