About

I’ve spent my career building things that didn’t have a clear playbook yet.

That’s taken me from software, design, VFX and directing into company building, original IP, production technology and applied AI. The through-line is taking ambiguous, cross-functional work and making it real.

What I work on

  • Creative leadership

    Set direction, build the right team and carry complex creative work through production and delivery.

  • Original IP

    Build character worlds, products, partnerships and organizations that can scale without losing the core idea.

  • Production technology

    Design workflows, pipelines and tools that make complex production faster, clearer and more reliable.

  • Applied AI

    Identify where AI can create practical leverage and build focused products around the work people already do.

How I lead

  • Start with the real problem.

    The stated brief matters, but the real job is understanding what the business, audience and team actually need.

  • Make ambition executable.

    The team, workflow, technology and operating model are part of the creative solution.

  • Use technology where it changes the work.

    New tools matter when they remove friction, create capability or make better work possible.

  • Stay accountable through delivery.

    I stay close enough to see where the plan meets reality and adjust before quality, time or money slips.
