Creative development expert passionate about impactful storytelling.
What I'm looking for
As the head of development at Appian Way Productions, I have dedicated six years to producing films and series that resonate culturally. My journey has been driven by a passion for storytelling, where I blend sharp creative instincts with market insight to ensure each project embodies the elevated signature that Leonardo DiCaprio is known for.
Throughout my career, I have produced, pitched, and sold over 20 features and television series to major studios like Apple, Disney, Sony, and Netflix. My role has involved leading end-to-end development on projects, overseeing creative strategies, and managing cross-functional collaborations. Notably, I spearheaded Netflix’s 'The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari,' which garnered over 40 million hours of global viewership.
Now, I am eager to transition my creative development expertise into brand marketing, where compelling storytelling is more crucial than ever. I am excited to leverage my experience in cultivating relationships with leading creatives and my strategic approach to narrative development in a new environment.
