IN DEPTHDESIGN THINKING · ACROSS PROJECTS2018–2026

How I Think

I genuinely enjoy collaborating, giving direction, receiving feedback, and figuring things out together. My eclectic taste and experience help me adapt to whatever a project needs.

Big Picture1

Connect the idea to the execution using every detail available.

I take scripts and strategy through storyboards and animatics, then art direct all the way to finished frames. I like to see how the big picture weaves into the smallest details. 

In the Weeds2

Design, shoot, edit, animate, deliver. Wherever I can help, I will.

I’ve worked across campaigns, retail, social and editorial, from concepting and building reusable systems to directing production and delivering the final product. Open to wearing many hats and helping my team. 

Format First3

Build tools that make great work scalable and accessible.

Toolkits, templates and guidelines that let one idea stretch across every screen, language and team that needs it. Discovering how a format can be pushed in new ways, or optimized. 

Collabs >4

Bring clarity to, and between creative teams, stakeholders, and production partners.

I can be creative liaison between strategy, design and post-production, always curious to hear out every one’s ideas and perspective.
