I’ve always lived between cultures. Born in the States, raised in Melbourne, and shaped in a bush town in northern New South Wales. I’m a Caribbean-Australian director based in Toronto. That “third-culture kid” lens fuels my perspective and draws me to stories that don’t neatly fit into one box.

My first love was skate videos (yep, Spike Jonze stole my come-up story), and I’ve never really grown out of that spirit of collaboration. Whether it’s putting a quirky twist on ad spots, hook testing while launching a new TikTok show, or diving into aesthetics and tone in a portraiture series, I create because I love solving problems with people I admire.

My work lives somewhere between the playful and the edgy, with magic realism as a kind of North Star. I’ve directed for Netflix, Doritos, Google, picked up a Gold YDA, and was shortlisted for Young Guns.
