I'm a lifelong filmmaker with over 15 years experience as an editor and videographer after graduating from The University of Texas film school. Since before I can remember I have been enamored with the art of storytelling in its many tantalizing forms. What began as joke telling on playgrounds became acting in theater, short story writing and illustrations, animation, then finally cameras and film. From being born in Stockholm, Sweden to growing up in London, Paris, Washington D.C. and Austin, Texas films were my constant. I attended film school at the University of Texas where I wrote and directed my first feature film senior year. After graduation I worked in Austin for 2 years as lead editor and creative director for a video production company where I shot and edited hundreds of videos ranging from commercials to documentaries and video profiles for Olympic athletes.   I moved to Los Angeles in the fall of 2009 and spent the next 8 years working with "A-list" talent on a multitude of projects ranging from award winning films, to music videos, commercials, trailers and web series. I recently moved to the east coast to develop my 2nd feature film "Mangoland" to be shot in West Africa. Whether I'm working on a feature film, music video or commercial, my focus is always set squarely on enlightening, love infused, resonant and engaging storytelling.

I'm an avid cineaste and globetrotter who combines my creative skills in media production with my passion for storytelling, film, food and travel. With a multicultural background and a global perspective developed throughout years of traveling across borders, I hope to use film as a medium to bridge cultural gaps and make the world more connected. A big believer in taking initiative, I’m no stranger to trailblazing where there’s no established path. Despite studying at a college where film isn’t offered as a major, I’ve continuously pursued this passion by customizing my college curriculum, founding the first and only film centered organization on campus, completed semesters abroad to broaden my knowledge in film across cultures. I've also taken on multiple film internships with media departments and documentary production companies to develop and hone my production skills, earning the opportunity to work with Academy Award winning and Academy Award nominated directors.
