What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters creativity and innovation, allowing me to leverage AI in storytelling while collaborating with passionate teams.

As the Founder of Kill The Robot Studios, I am an innovative leader in Artificial Intelligence-driven filmmaking and digital content strategy. My passion lies in creating high-impact commercials, music videos, and branded content using cutting-edge AI tools and immersive storytelling techniques. With a strong background in creative direction, UX/UI, and AI-enhanced video production, I build innovative content systems that drive engagement and brand impact.

Throughout my career, I have led AI-powered video production and interactive media development, crafting content that resonates with audiences. My experience includes designing an AI-powered media curriculum at KIPP Infinity Charter School, where I modernized creative education and trained both educators and students in AI-enhanced video production. I also established NYC’s first STEM Accredited E-Sports & Digital Media Arts program, partnering with the NBA Foundation to expand initiatives for underserved youth.

With expertise in AI technologies, digital media, and brand strategy, I am committed to pioneering AI-driven storytelling and next-gen digital content. I thrive on collaboration with brands, artists, and agencies to create high-engagement social media campaigns and visual experiences that elevate brand narratives.
