Whether I’m developing content for the high-powered world of commercial real estate or directing a wistful coming-of-stage story in a music video, I tell stories that stand for something. If it’s video, podcasts, articles, or even projection design, I lead projects with a creative but purpose-driven approach to content. I started in fiction writing and video production, and I carry those skills into other content services. I’m especially drawn to intimate stories that connect the little moments in life to larger societal conversations.
