During his years in film school, he refined his editorial skills and collaborated with multiple directors throughout. After producing Golden Goose Deluxe Brand’s first fashion film, he went on to edit the following two, both of which received festival acclaim and won numerous advertising awards.

He was also appointed a part of Apple’s creative and post-production team during the Fall of 2016 and worked on the keynote opening film “Accessibility – Sady”. After graduating with honors from Art Center College of Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in film, he edited the Grammy nominated video for acclaimed hip-hop artist Tierra Whack.
