02 / HOW THE WORK CONNECTSDECISIONS HAVE A DIRECTION

Understanding the whole process changes how I approach each step.

When I make a decision in creative development, I consider how it will affect the shoot, the edit, approvals and final delivery. I look ahead so I can anticipate those effects before they become problems.

WHAT I’M ALREADY THINKING ABOUT

I bring an understanding of how every part connects.
That perspective shapes each decision I make.
