This Webby Award Winning director is a born storyteller, on a journey to discover the authentic heart of every tale with a special focus on children, young adult and influencer talent.

Fascinated by unusual perspectives, unexpected heroes and true underdogs, Courtney strives to find beauty in the ordinary and champion the extraordinary. 

The path she takes is all about connection. By making talent feel completely at ease in front of camera, she nurtures organic, spontaneous, and real emotions. As these authentic moments play out, she hones in on the details — from the subtlety of a characters’ personality to the nuanced way they move. It’s these details that connect her audience to the story or protagonist in a deeply intimate way. 

Courtney’s inspiration comes from a genuine curiosity about people and their stories, fueled by a lifetime of observation and people watching. 

Whether you’re creating branded content, commercials, narrative-driven films or music videos, Courtney will have your audience hooked from the first frame to the very last. 

When Courtney is not directing or producing projects through her female-owned production house, DAMSEL, you can find her installing outdoor, zero waste art murals at her son’s school or mentoring students at the United World College 8th Grade Film Festival.

Currently based in Singapore. Works globally.
