Capabilities

I work at the intersection of creativity and technology, helping teams turn bold ideas into real things. With a background spanning, advertising, game development, and AI, I bring a systems-thinking approach to creative business and storytelling—one that’s curious, collaborative, and grounded in the details that make experiences feel alive.

Creative Strategy

I build concepts that bridge technology, storytelling, and experience design. Whether it’s a campaign, an installation, or a prototype, I align creative direction with cultural insight and technical feasibility.

Creative Leadership

I’ve built and led teams across disciplines. I set vision, define roles, and make space for weird ideas. I know how to keep momentum alive through ambiguity and build trust between creative and technical stakeholders.

Experience Design

I craft visual and interactive experiences that move people—whether digital, physical, or hybrid. With a background in motion design, video post-production, game design and performance, I approach every experience as a choreography of attention.

Technical Translation

I speak both engineer and executive. I help teams make sense of new tools, map capabilities to business objectives, and tell the story of what’s possible without overhyping what’s not.

Client & Agency Collaboration

From scrappy startups to global brands, I work well on both sides of the brief. I’ve pitched, scoped, staffed, shipped, and sold ideas at every stage of the creative process.

AI Workflows & Prototyping

I help teams navigate the AI landscape—from ideation to implementation, inclusive of ethical and business considerations. That means choosing the right models, building prototypes, and integrating AI tools into creative pipelines with clarity and intention.
