I am an artist and filmmaker. I live and work in San Francisco.

I love good company and good conversations. I spend much of my free time creating art, pondering existence, and being humble.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a dream warrior! I have been able to create my own worlds and bring people into my dreams with total control. I think that's pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Being an artist, crafter, and enthusiastic person, I can share my experiences with making costumes, props, art, film. We can share experiences, if you'd like to accompany me on some travels, we can make memories together!
