==========================>

The work that we create as media professionals has meaning in the world and can help shape its future in small, subtle ways - when applied with intent, thoughtfulness and respect.

I am adept at building bridges between the startup, entertainment and advertising industries... As a media strategist, I have designed and produced hundreds of initiatives with video/social/mobile platforms, film studios, television networks, ad agencies, consumer brands, record labels, non-profits, activists and artists. These efforts have built complex, monetizable media ecosystems and sparked billions of interactions for brands (based on over $2B in production costs and media expenditures.)
