As a storyteller, he is inspired by thinking that comes out of the box. As an artist he takes the empty frame and fills it with images that have not been previously expressed to the audience. As a production designer he makes his ideas to go deeper and deeper into the human psyche. As a collaborator, he understands the power of the team and helps bring them into his vision while listening to theirs. His aim is to relate to his audience and to surprise them and entertain them.
