Video Directing

As Director of Creative Development at Bon Appétit and Epicurious, I work on a development team creating new series from scratch to publish, while also maintaining standards for ongoing series. I own the entire creative process from brainstorm, outlining, casting, field production, and post-production.

Below are a sample of my work that I’ve directed at Condé Nast:
