Sarah was incredibly professional and helped us pull together an important interview with only about 24 hours notice. She worked hard to make a very boring interview space look interesting. She was flexible and helped us get all the shots we needed in a very narrow time window. The final footage looks great - would hire her again any time.

Leading up to the 2020 election, I followed Clarice, a woman living with Cystic fibrosis. I was a one person crew, responsible for audio, lighting, camera work as well as interviewing Clarice.

Another memorable video I shot for Sephora's Belong campaign featuring Daniel. We had limited time to shoot, so working with only natural light and quickly problem solving to find places to grab b-roll were fun challenges.

A doc style piece I shot for Sephora highlighting Bryce, a talented makeup artist and drag queen. We had a lot of fun capturing his transformation and performance at a club in San Francisco's Castro district.

With over 380,000 views on Sephora's instagram, this was one of my favorite videos I shot for Sephora's Belong Campaign series. Shawn shares his inspiring journey, moving from the Philippines to the United States to become a pro makeup artist.
