I’ve spent most of my life making things — first through music, and eventually through photography, film, sound and light.

On paper, those can look like separate careers. To me, they’ve always been part of the same thing: helping an idea become something another person can feel.

I’m equal parts artist and technician. I can obsess over a chord voicing, a microphone choice, the falloff of a light, the timing of a camera move or a cue in a live show — but none of those things matter simply because they’re technically correct. They matter because, together, they can make something feel honest.

I try not to force beauty into things. I’d rather find what’s already there and give it enough space to be seen or heard.

Most of all, I care about the people I work with. I want artists to feel understood, supported and confident enough to make the thing they actually meant to make.
