I'm an award-winning
creative and pitch witch.
A storyteller at heart, I specialize in concepting, strategizing, developing, integrating, and selling in ideas. From the biggest picture to the smallest detail, I infuse every step of the journey with a unique creative vision that is high concept, high craft, and high performance. Whether at the helm or in the crew, I treat the work as a ship folding space and time: Let’s go anywhere and everywhere.
My modus operandi
Digital is table stakes.
But not for the sake of tech.
Feel something.
Make them feel.
Learn the rules.
Break the rules.
If we fail, it's on me.
If we win, it's all you.
Sometimes they yank me from behind the camera and make me sit in front of it:
I was once an industry hopeful who was late(r) to the game and self-conscious about not doing things the "right way."
Then some kind folks gave me the time of day and said this is the way. What that meant was that the way was mine to own and shape. So it's important for me to pay that forward — particularly to talent from marginalized, minoritized and underrepresented communities. Besides teaching, I've also coached for the AAF Most Promising Student Competition, hired interns (and mentored them).
Always open to teaching opportunities.

how the emergence of both the
modern novel and the transit system
made it impossible for Little Nell to
survive at the end of The Old
Curiosity Shop. What? Exactly.

TL;DR: nerd who reads, writes, and comes up with weird ideas.
