SELECTED WORKS

STUFF I DO


Long-Form Demos

In-depth coverage of the gear, showcasing it in the context of original music arranged and produced around it, then zooming in to hear how it works on its own. Not a comprehensive video manual, but a close look with meaningful detail.

Image

Short-Form Vignettes

Just the jam—short, punchy original pieces written to cover a more focused set of sounds in a musical context. Great as a supplement for other long-form content or renewing buzz around older products.

Image

Micro-Samples

No frills, just quick isolated riffs and sound samples crafted to grab attention. Great for short turnarounds and broader coverage over multiple posts. (Offered in bundle and/or retainer packages.)

Image

Design & Creative

Offline, I'm a designer with a decade of agency experience. I can consult, produce custom content, design brand and product assets, write copy, record sound samples for product pages, and anything else that reinforces a brand.

SOME CONTEXT

I grew up in SoCal playing DIY shows, jumping off stages, writing scrappy two-minute songs, and teaching myself to record them however I could.

My roots are in genres like punk, emo, post-hardcore, and shoegaze. I'm a fan of all things heavy, moody, aggressive, textural, dreamy—basically anything you might call "alternative," and everything that tends to get overlooked in the canon of guitar gear.

So, my work is for anyone who inhabits that world—musicians who care deeply about their sound, and more importantly what they say with it.
