Hello, I’m a filmmaker and board artist based in NYC. I attended Pratt MWP and The Cooper Union School of Art for fine art/painting with a focus on narrative figure and still life painting + performance art. After graduation, I got into the film industry as a production designer and then became a director.
Eventually, my art skills and directing skills collided and I got represented by Famous Frames as a commercial storyboard artist.
Some brands I’ve drawn for – Starbucks, Airbnb, Lyft, Saks 5th Avenue, NAACP, Kate Spade, Door Dash, Disney, Nickelodeon / Nick Jr., Mountain Dew, Girl Scouts of America, Ulta Beauty, Marantz, The Ad Council, HBO, La Mer, Joah Beauty, Aldo, Pattern Beauty, Blockbuster, Amazon, Weight Watchers, Heluva Good, Sheetz, Cheez-Its, Montefiore, Madewell, Billie, Turtle Beach, Bleacher Report, Airbnb, Maruchan, Robitussin, Flonase, MLB, Maybelline, and many more.
Some celebrity brands and features include Jon Legend, Tracee Ellis Ross, Saweetie, Ariana Grande, Al Pacino, John Cena, The Manning Family, Sarah Jessica Parker.
Most storyboard artists come from a background in illustration or comic books. But as a board artist with real on-set experience, I approach boarding from an understanding of camera and editing, as well as the demanding fast life of film/TV production.
