Commercial Production

Hello 👋

Hello, I’m Chris. I build and lead production teams that deliver high-end photo and video campaigns without missed deadlines, blown budgets, or creative compromise.

Based in Atlanta, I’m a Senior Creative Producer and Director with 8+ years running end-to-end productions across brand, agency, and performance-driven environments. I turn ambitious ideas into production-ready plans, assemble crews I trust, and keep execution tight when timelines, budgets, and expectations collide.

I care deeply about craft, clarity, and momentum. I don’t believe in chaos as a creative strategy, or in decks that never turn into real work. My edge lives at the intersection of creative leadership and operational discipline. Fewer surprises. Faster decisions. Better output.

The result is work that actually ships, protects client trust, and scales without burnout.

If you’re building something that needs real ownership, not just oversight, let’s talk.
