Documenting the Intent and Artistry of Your Design: Timeless Visuals for the top Architects and Designers in San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California
You put your reputation into every build, and the photography should be no different. I bring a meticulous level of skill to the site, focusing on the sophisticated composition and light management required for editorial-grade visuals. Because this is often the only time your finished work will be professionally documented, I treat every frame with the respect it deserves. I provide the technical mastery and creative intuition needed to turn your design into a cornerstone of your professional portfolio.
LinkedIn x Experience Research Labs Home Office Design
Documenting the visual evolution of a global headquarters requires a meticulous level of strategy and foresight. I was commissioned to provide a comprehensive suite of commercial photography and cinematography for Experience Research Lab following their extensive redesign of the wall environments and environmental graphics across LinkedIn’s main campus.
This project spanned multiple buildings, including the primary headquarters and secondary campus offices. Capturing the sheer scale of this environmental design required a rigorous production plan. My focus was on documenting how Experience Research Lab successfully translated the LinkedIn brand into a physical, immersive experience—ensuring every graphic installation and wall treatment aligned with the corporate culture and the architectural flow of the workspace.
For a firm like Experience Research Lab, providing high-resolution architectural stills and cinematic media is a strategic necessity. In the Silicon Valley commercial real estate market, developers and tech leaders look for proven success in large-scale campus transformations. By documenting the precision of the installation and the cohesive narrative of the redesign, we created a powerful commercial portfolio piece that demonstrates the firm's ability to manage and execute complex, multi-building projects. This is a definitive record of a workspace designed for the future of professional connection.
Pure Storage Inc.
Office design has shifted, and this Palo Alto commercial project is a perfect example of the 'new' workplace. It was beautiful to watch this build come together from the ground up, with every detail focused on employee comfort and engagement. As a commercial photographer in the South Bay, my goal is to showcase how a space feels, not just how it looks. From the architectural lines to the welcoming common areas, these visuals highlight a workspace built for community and creativity.
Oliver Builders Inc
This Berkeley Hills custom home is a masterclass in what happens when architectural vision meets elite craftsmanship. For this project, I produced a two-part builder testimonial film featuring in-depth interviews with both the homeowners and the architect. We explored the intricate narrative of the build, documenting the meticulous care Oliver Builders took in assembling this home piece by piece. These construction process films do more than showcase a finished house; they provide a transparent look at the trust and expertise required to build in the challenging terrain of the East Bay.
Studio J Architecture
Deep in the redwoods of Sonoma County, this modern retreat stands as a testament to the collaborative vision of Studio J Architecture. For this project, I produced a cinematic architect marketing video featuring an intimate interview with the homeowner. We explored the original design brief and the seamless process of bringing a complex build to life in Northern California’s unique landscape. This architectural testimonial does more than showcase a stunning home; it highlights the vital relationship between a visionary architect and a satisfied client.
Miyuki Yamaguchi Design Studio for SF Designers Showcase
For an interior designer, being selected for the San Francisco Decorator Showcase represents the pinnacle of the craft in Northern California. It is a moment where years of dedication and aesthetic evolution finally meet the public eye in one of the city's most prestigious architectural settings. I had the privilege of partnering with Miyuki Yamaguchi Design Studio to document this career-defining event through a cinematic marketing film.
During our shoot, Miyuki reflected on the significance of the moment, sharing:
“It was a lifelong goal and a dream of mine to be a part of the SF Designers Showcase.”
Beyond a simple walkthrough, this film captures the emotion and intentionality behind her design. In an industry built on aesthetics, high-end video marketing provides a critical competitive edge. It allows designers to share their personality and the "why" behind their work with prospective clients in a way that static imagery simply cannot match. By immortalizing this lifelong goal on film, we’ve created an enduring digital legacy that continues to build authority and trust for her studio long after the showcase has concluded.
The Intersection of Science and Design: Experience Research Lab x Wild Type
Capturing the evolution of the modern workplace requires an eye for both technical precision and creative energy. This project features a comprehensive suite of commercial photography and cinematography for a premier San Francisco office space, designed by Experience Research Lab in collaboration with Wild Type.
The project focuses on the intersection of high-stakes science and sophisticated design. Wild Type is at the forefront of the future of food—creating lab-grown salmon—and their workspace reflects that same level of innovation. I worked to document a space that prioritizes both flow and focus, highlighting the clean architectural lines and the strikingly creative art installations that define Wild Type’s unique culture.
By blending wide-angle spatial views with tight, editorial details, this film serves as a definitive record of a design intended to inspire innovation in the heart of the Bay Area. For Experience Research Lab, this visual narrative provides a permanent showcase of their ability to translate a company’s mission into a functional, mesmerizing environment.
"Her Study" by Geoffrey Coy of Coy & Company for SF Designers Showcase
In the high-stakes environment of the San Francisco Decorator Showcase, a designer has a rare opportunity to create a world without compromise. I partnered with Geoffrey Coy of Coy & Co to document his masterful installation, "Her Study." This space was a sophisticated exercise in texture and tone, blending a scholarly atmosphere with a modern, refined edge that has become the hallmark of the Coy & Co aesthetic.
My approach was to treat the room as a living narrative. Rather than a standard walkthrough, we focused on the "soul" of the study—the way sunlight interacted with the heavy textures, the precision of the furniture placement, and the quiet luxury of the curated art.
For a firm like Coy & Co, cinematic video marketing serves as the bridge between a temporary exhibition and a permanent brand asset. In the San Francisco luxury market, clients look for a designer who understands how to evoke a specific feeling within a home. By capturing the rhythm and the intimate details of "Her Study," we created a cinematic portfolio piece that functions as a high-end calling card. This film allows Geoffrey’s vision to resonate with future clients and collaborators, providing a definitive record of his ability to transform a room into a profound sensory experience.
