What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategy, storytelling, and production for brands or organizations that value culturally resonant content, measurable audience growth, and scalable creative systems across digital, social, and video platforms.

I lead strategy and production for Art Films, directing comprehensive marketing and paid social campaigns for international art galleries across Miami and New York.

I've built integrated campaigns, live television, podcasts, branded content, and social strategies for brands including Airbnb, Adobe, Sony Music, and the George Lucas Educational Foundation. My work has generated engagement growth and campaign performance gains of up to 4x.

At Nawal Studio, I directed global influencer campaigns across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, delivering 40–85% engagement increases while managing creative teams across three international markets.

I've also produced documentary and educational content at Edutopia, led multi-platform video campaigns at Pachamama Alliance that quadrupled engagement, and supported fast-paced brand campaigns at Mekanism and Current TV. I connect strategy and execution through communications frameworks, content systems, and production workflows that make ideas scalable.
