I learned to tell stories through a lens. Today I build software: Air Pixels, the flight OS for drone pilots, and websites for founders at Design Werks. As AI changes how visuals get made, the craft of the frame matters more than ever.
Building the flight OS for drones.
Air Pixels
Plan airspace, check weather, build shot lists, brief the FAA packet and log the sortie. LAANC clearances, altitude wind profiles, shot storyboards and audit-ready compliance in one place.
From the lens to the model.
Visual storytelling
A cinematography background applied to products, brands and AI-generated content. Composition, light and pacing still decide what people feel.
Drone operations
Airspace, weather, safety and compliance for commercial flight. The workflow Air Pixels is built on.
AI & product
Software, design systems and AI-assisted creative workflows, built with a filmmaker's eye for detail.
Design that Werks.
Websites for founders and startups that need to look as sharp as the product. Strategy, design and build.
