I excel at taking an exploratory, narrative-driven approach to production across multiple disciplines and domains, including 2D/3D animation, web3, interactive XR, video shoots, post-production, experiential, and 360-campaigns. My execution of advertising projects is disciplined yet nimble. In the past eight years, I have worn many hats: I’ve produced three successful experiential projects, 200+ social animations, and 15 large-scale digital projects, such as web3 world builds, interactive websites, apps, NFT campaign launches, global post campaigns, and 3D animations. In my most recent role at MediaMonks, I worked with some of the top talent in the world, producing projects for Google, Chips Ahoy, BelVita, The Getty museum, TikTok, JP Morgan, Macy’s, and Netflix, working across webGL to 3D animation and managing client relations, creative scope, and the execution of projects. Prior to that, at BBDO New York, I held a similar role, collaborating with talented minds on projects for Visa, AT&T, GE, ExxonMobil, J&J, Dunkin', Twix, CVS, FedEx, and SAP, among others.
In my work, I draw inspiration from my roots in Louisville, Kentucky and years spent in South Florida. These locales presented me with the opportunity to observe unique cultural landscapes and how individuals experience and interact with their surroundings. Growing up among successful artists, vastly different cultures, organizing indie-folk festivals, and attending world-class art events greatly shaped my appreciation of how culture and environments interact—which later expanded to cutting-edge platforms and technology.
Today, I aim to produce projects with compelling narratives, innovative design, and environmentally sustainable production, all while pushing boundaries on emerging platforms. Further, I cultivate and facilitate unique content that supports our humanity and connects our modern-day experience to ever-wider audiences through innovative technological executions.
