About:

Over the past 10 years, I built my career directing and editing trailers, documentaries, and social content. During my time at Bungie, I led the creation of over 30 high-impact trailers, documentaries, and showcases for the videogame Destiny 2, working across every stage of production - from pitching and scripting to directing shoots and editing final cuts. I directed and edited both The Witch Queen and Lightfall showcases and behind-the-scenes documentaries, which generated millions of views, broke pre-order records, and trended globally on YouTube. These were full-scale productions, requiring both creative vision and rigorous execution under tight timelines with high expectations.

Beyond directing, I helped build and mentor a cross-functional team of editors and capture artists, fostering a collaborative environment that consistently delivered top-tier work. I also developed Bungie’s short-form social video pipeline, producing content that reached massive audiences across YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter/X.
