Bio
I have more than a decade of experience across creative direction, film production and post, digital product experiences, and creative systems: a non-linear path sparked by curiosity, and a tendency to find the right story before it's obvious.
Lately I've been writing more and more AI-assisted code, across front-end design and the internal systems behind the teams doing creative work, focused on the visual and media landscape.
