California-born and long associated with Amsterdam, she built an early profile in music videos and fashion films before expanding into global brand work, episodic television, and features. Her breakthrough credit is Janelle Monáe’s “Pynk” (2018), which helped establish her as a Grammy-nominated filmmaker.

She directed the 2023 SXSW feature Bleeding Love (Ewan and Clara McGregor), an intimate father-daughter recovery story, and has episodic credits on Dollface, Little Voice, and Long Slow Exhale.
