What I'm looking for

I seek a role leading creative video production within a collaborative, data-informed team where I can scale workflows, integrate AI, and deliver performance-driven visual content.

I am a creative producer and video artist with over five years of experience delivering end-to-end visual content for B2B and B2C brands. I combine film, video and design training (BFA, MFA) with practical skills in directing, filming, editing and motion graphics to tell compelling brand stories.

At Cosnova I lead content production across concept, briefing, execution and distribution, manage agency and freelancer relationships, and introduced AI workflows to improve creative output and team efficiency. Previously at Vimeo I owned strategy and execution of a high-volume video template library and managed a team to scale channel-adapted assets.

My work is performance-minded: I create assets optimized for YouTube, Meta and TikTok, run UGC and influencer campaigns, and use data to inform creative iteration. I am experienced with AI tools including ChatGPT, Midjourney, Runway and ElevenLabs to accelerate ideation and production.

I thrive in cross-functional teams, collaborate closely with marketing and product partners to ensure brand consistency, and focus on building structured, scalable workflows that improve resource optimization and campaign delivery.
