About

I’m a hands-on AI consultant (Creative Director/Operations), AI Filmmaker & Production leader with 2 decades across advertising, broadcast & digital, for the past 4 years at the forefront of AI powered content production in senior leadership roles at Amazon and Mirriad, prior to which I was Director of Post Production at Hearst. My career spans creative direction of global campaigns for some of the world’s most recognized brands. I’m an AI film director, creating award winning shorts, ads & music videos. I bring the rigor I’ve applied to large-scale production operations to everything I make. The most interesting work happening sits at the intersection of world-class craft, emerging tech & operational excellence. That’s where I live. If you’re building in AI, whether creative or operations, I’d love to talk.
