About

Technical mad scientist,
creative systems builder.

I work at the intersection of digital and physical media — videography, photography, event and media production, web, motion, and graphic design — building immersive experiences and the systems that keep them running.

These days that increasingly means AI: designing workflows where new technology does the heavy lifting so people can do the creative work. I lead design and development teams globally, and I'm happiest when a complex problem needs business, art, tech, strategy, and community thinking all at once.

approach 01

Systems over one-offs

Whether it's a broadcast rig, an event ops playbook, or an AI workflow — I build the repeatable machine, not just the deliverable.

approach 02

New tech, purposeful design

Embracing new technology only where it future-proofs the work and serves the people using it — AI-powered precision, human-centered intent.

approach 03

Bridge roles are the job

Business, art, tech, strategy, community. The value is in connecting them — leading teams that speak all five languages.
