Posse Foundation - The Mirandas
The Posse Foundation is a non-profit that provides opportunities and scholarships for young adults. As part of their 2023 gala, Posse wanted to highlight the co-founders of the Posse Arts program, father and son, Luis and Lin Manuel Miranda. The ask was to produce a video of their journey and the impact Posse provides. Because it was shot on the East Coast, Posse hired a crew to film the interview. Once completed, they handed over footage and b roll to me for editing. This was a challenging (but fun) project as I was given the footage two weeks before the deadline.

The Center for Creative Education is an arts focused K-8 school based in West Palm Beach Florida. As part of a 3 person crew, we flew out to spend an afternoon interviewing staff and students. This was a teaser video of a much longer promo video highlighting the work of this organization.

Client Services Internal Promo
As this was an internal company video, the Client Services department requested to keep it in-house which my team took on. Using a mix of interviews and motion graphics, we produced a video to help explain what the Client Services team does on any given day. My involvement included concept/storyboarding, direction, videography and post production including audio.

Spruceflow Software
To help launch our new SAAS platform, Spruceflow, the Sales team wanted a simple video to explain its value prop and the ease of use. I was involved throughout the entire project starting at pre-production with casting, location scouting, storyboarding and scripting. For production I directed all of the shoots, ran one the cameras and set up lighting. For post, I did all the editing, motion graphics and audio.

I Heart Walk
Concept/Storyboard, Director.
To encourage colleague participation in the 2019 Annual Heart Walk, my team created this video. I came up with this concept of a simple white backdrop in order to emphasize each colleague’s reason for wanting to participate. We set this up in an empty conference room and with the right lighting, you could never tell!
Pet Clinic Promo
Director, Videographer, Editor, Graphics, Audio
Paw Fund is a SF Bay Area based non profit that offers free pet wellness services to low income and homeless pet guardians. I’m a huge fan of their work (we even adopted 2 of our rescues from them) so I volunteered to shoot a short promo video for them. I spent a day filming one of their pet clinic events in Berkeley.
GRID Alternatives Volunteering
Director, Interviewer, Videographer, Editor, Graphics, Audio
Clean Power Finance employees are given the opportunity to volunteer with GRID Alternatives and install a solar system on the homes of low income customers. I shot this while shadowing a volunteer crew for the afternoon. You’d be surprised how dangerous it is to shoot on a roof!
