His holiday Campaign for Samsung garnered a Cannes Lion. He has worked for clients such as Coca-Cola, Sprite, Google, Kellogg’s, Natrel, Unilever and Nintendo to name a few.

His most recent short Marco & Polo Go Round, produced as both an immersive VR experience and a traditional narrative film has been to over 40 festivals worldwide including, Cannes XR, Clermont-Ferrand, Tribeca, Annecy and has garnered top prizes at many of these.
