I Don’t Code Switch is a visual love letter for Juneteenth, a poetic editorial honoring Black legacy, identity, strength, and softness. At Cychedelic Picture House, I led creative direction, casting, filming, and post-production, bringing together real people, real moments, and the undeniable presence of Black identity in motion.
This project began as a story about a mother and her son and evolved into a larger portrait of collective legacy, crafted with care, intention, and love for the art form. Every frame was designed to celebrate authenticity, resilience, and the power of showing up fully in your truth.

This film was a reflection on purpose and art , how using your gift can move people in ways words can’t. I partnered with Ashley T. Robinson to bring her vision for Love Allways to life, crafting a short visual that captures ambition, emotion, and creative truth. Every frame was built with intention, love, and storytelling at its core.

This high-fashion project was a true honor to direct and film for @affame.official, a brand known for its bold design language and unapologetic edge.
As Creative Director and Cinematographer, I guided the full visual process, from concept development and on-set direction to post-production, crafting a piece that captures the brand’s raw elegance and confident energy.
