About

I'm a creative director working at the intersection of art, technology, and storytelling. Over the past 12 years, I've directed brand films, designed interactive installations, and led creative campaigns for global brands. I believe the best creative work makes you feel something unexpected. My practice spans film, generative art, AR, and experiential design — but the throughline is always the same: build a world worth getting lost in, then invite people inside.
My SXSW installation was powered by 47 Raspberry Pis
I learned to code so I could make art that moves
My Spotify Wrapped says I listened to 12,000 minutes of ambient music
I collect vintage synthesizers and broken neon signs
I sketch every concept on paper before touching a screen
