Treatment Writing
Thanks to a combination of Letterboxd-fueled movie watching, cinematic content consumption, and chance encounters with commercial directors through my agency, I developed a newfound love for filmmaking as an art form.
I started by experimenting with short videos for Instagram, and soon felt the itch to make something a bit more ambitious. Working my way up the ladder of complexity, I felt that a music video would be appropriate.
I chose a song - Beaux's "I’ll Be Here When You’re Back" and began writing a script. I applied everything I learned from working on other directors' treatments to create my own, planning everything from casting and locations to set design, wardrobe, cinematography, and production schedule.
The music video follows a short narrative inspired by the feeling of nostalgic longing that the song so perfectly creates, taking cues from coming of age films like Perks of Being a Wallflower.
The treatment is available upon request, and more films are coming soon!

From 2020-2024, I worked as an in-house graphic designer at the esports and entertainment conglomerate Envy Gaming, later known as OpTic Gaming following an industry-shaking merger of the two giants.
I worked across all internal brands, including Dallas Fuel, Dallas Empire, and OpTic Texas, developing a unique brand voice for each team that resonated with their respective game’s passionate community.
As one of the longest tenured creatives at the organization, I was forced to adapt to repeated structural changes, which saw me experimenting and excelling at all sorts of creative work, from social media graphics and youtube content branding, to live event broadcasts and merchandise designs.
The OpTic Evergreen SCUF controller with its accompanying poster is one of my favorite things I've ever made. My design won out in a bid internally, and the copy of the controller I received is my prized possession!
Designs featured are by me.
