hello!

I’m a Los Angeles–based filmmaker and Production Design Fellow at the American Film Institute. My passion for storytelling began at a young age, creating home movies with my sister and spending endless hours in theaters with my family.

I started painting sets for local community theaters at just 13, later expanding my skills in scenic construction, prop-making, and costume design. After several years designing for the stage, I transitioned into film to pursue a more intimate, detail-driven form of visual storytelling.

Since then, I have designed nearly thirty short films and two features. My favorite part of working in the art department is the collaboration it inspires and the shared creativity, problem-solving, and sense of family that come with every production.

I continue to design with curiosity and a love for storytelling that continues to inspire me every day.

Here’s to the next project!
