Hi! I’m a filmmaker and graphic designer based in Wilmington, NC. I graduated from UNCW in 2025 with a BA in Film Studies. Since then, I’ve been working in graphic design and freelance videography. Films that I’ve shot have been selected for the Cucalorus Film Festival, Fuquay Film Fest, and Raleigh Film and Art Festival. This November, I have two pieces showing at the Wilson Center in Wilmington as a part of Dance-a-lorus: Art vs. Artifice, a dance/film collaboration exploring the parallels between Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and generative AI; and An Evening at the Theatre, a live exploration of videography and choreography.
