Houston raised, by way of Dallas. I’ve amassed a number of skills and titles over the years personally and professionally. I’ve packed up all of those into one identity Visual Artist. A Strong Purveyor Of Aesthetics, My Works take On The Role Of Narration As Well. Creating Bodies Of Work That Go Along A Story Usually Within Itself Or For A Larger Construct That I’m Ever Building. I Explore A Minimal Approach With Calculated Production And Intensive Design. Utilizing Subjects In Various Mediums For Viewers To Align It As An Experience. One Through Simple And Direct Imagery. My years of experience in production and post-production, Have branched me into Working across many industries including Advertising, Branding, Marketing, and Entertainment. My role at times exceeded more than my job title for particular projects, taking on the role of Art and Creative Direction. Utilizing my skills as a Photographer, I quickly took on Filmmaking and directing. From fashion films to music videos and more recently, Commercial Directing. Simultaneously, I’m active in the art community locally and abroad, to activate my own exhibitions, events, and installations. Clients include Stetson USA, Crown Royal, eBay Sneakers, Haggar, Nike, A&E TV, D Magazine, New York Times, Patron Magazine, JCPenny, Sony, Def Jam Records, Columbia Records, Warner Bros. Music, JBW Watches, Breda Watches, Capital One. @sisbromgmt

This year, I had the opportunity to work with @agencyhabitat as Creative Director on the announcement commercial for @americanair and their partnership with @fifaworldcup ahead of the 2026 World Cup across North America. It quickly became one of my favorite commercial projects of the year. Our team spent months crafting a spot designed to resonate with audiences and position the Fort Worth–based, globally recognized airline as a powerful sponsor for one of the world’s biggest events. Truly honored to have helped bring this vision to life. Production company: @preludefilms

I’m honored to have directed and served as DP for the music video of the oscar-nominated original song Like A Bird, written and performed by the incredibly talented @abrahamalexander and @adrianmquesada , for @a24 film Sing Sing. My good friends @clintbentley and @gkwedar have created an extraordinary film that transcends storytelling—an emotional journey. Having witnessed pieces of this project come together years ago, it’s inspiring to see how far it has come and how it’s now being recognized as one of the top films of the year. A special thank you to @kodak for providing the Super 8 camera, adding a timeless texture to the visual storytelling. If you have the chance, Sing Sing is a must-watch—don’t miss it.

I’m excited to announce the release of this short documentary I directed a couple of years ago about Akwete Tyhimbe and her incredible contributions to South Dallas through her bookstore, Pan African Connection @pac_dallas . She is a true pillar of her community, and this film celebrates her remarkable impact. The documentary is being released and presented through @d_magazine just in time for the store’s 35th anniversary. This was an amazing project to be on. I’m very proud that this is now out in the world to see. Link to the doc in bio. Thanks again to the incredible team I worked with to make this happen.
