Writer, Director, Puppetmaker, Photographer, Educator.
Based out of Salt Lake City, Utah.
Writing and Direction focus on the visceral, hidden, tormented yet beautiful, and even absurd elements of humanity.
Puppetmaking begins at the workbench, where carving and stitching meet character and movement—blending design, emotion, and storytelling to create living figures that carry soul, presence, and purpose onstage.
Client photography is driven to tell unique visual narratives by capturing sincerity in each candid shot.
Current Location: Salt Lake City, UT
