Less time setting up.
More time making.
I picked up a camera six years ago and kept exploring video, photography, identity and sound. Today I work directly with founders and small teams, often solo and sometimes with trusted collaborators.
The rhythm between cuts, the texture of an image, a pause in typography: those details shape my work. I started KeyHole in August 2026 to give that same attention to the tools I use.
