I’ve spent years inside the chaos of advertising—where budgets shrink and ideas either land or vanish. I build brands through narrative craft, and I love the messier middle: the half-formed thought, the late-night fix, the concept that won’t sit still.

I’ve led the creative front across national video and ad projects—start to finish—taking ideas from loose briefs to polished films. I shape narratives, visual styles, and brand tone from the ground up, balancing the big picture with the small details so the work looks right, feels true, and solves the problem.

Along the way, I’ve written, directed, designed, and produced across commercial and narrative work, including directing a short film and producing a $50K short film while managing timelines, teams, and tight resources. I’ve also driven national and global copy work (digital, social, web, events), and supported client-side momentum through content strategy, campaign planning, and clean execution—plus I’ve taught producing as a TA, and trained in newsroom reporting through a journalism internship.
