About Chris

I am a videographer and photographer from the US, currently living in Zurich, Switzerland, with a passion for meaningful visual storytelling. Having spent several years in Boston as the Senior Video Editor at Cultural Care Au Pair, I expertly created content that’s both beautiful and authentic. Now working fully independently, I partner with brands across industries to create authentic and cinematic content rooted in identity, connection, and purpose. I love all things hockey, am a certified scuba diver, and always on the lookout for my next favorite coffee shop. When I’m not behind the lens, I’m curating the perfect playlist, exploring new countries, or enjoying a good trivia night.

  • Cultural Care Au Pair (EF Education First)
    Senior Videographer
    CULTURE
    December 2019 - May 2025 (5 years and 5 months)
    Boston, MA, USA
    I filmed and edited high-quality content in a variety of fast-paced and diverse settings, including studios, real homes, and international events. Content focused on the au pair experience and the benefits that both host families in the USA and au pairs from abroad gained during their time together. Authenticity and emotion were central to our creative approach, guiding the tone and storytelling in every project. To enhance visual appeal and strengthen messaging, I created motion graphics and visual assets using Adobe After Effects. I was also heavily involved in launching Cultural Care Au Pair's first podcast series managing the equipment, filming, audio mixing, and editing. I also managed complex production pipelines from intake to final delivery, ensuring that asset documentation, naming conventions, and storage remained consistent and organized.
