NYC Creative Director, Director, and Artiste.

As a CD, I’ve led teams for global agencies: Razorfish, Dentsu, and WPP. As a Video Director, I’ve made commercials for Amazon, Adidas, Moderna, Nike. I lead both art and copy, and manage projects solo or with my partner team. Equally passionate about production and AI, I’m pushing the boundaries of automation and also holding space for our beloved production community.

With a degree in Experimental Technology, my work is rooted in storytelling and experimental technology. Starting out as an animator in 2012, I created projection-mapped visuals for DJs at EDC, AR wearables for a Sequoia-backed startup, and graphics for Netflix. In 2018, I moved ‘above the line’ into development, directing original content for The History Channel and A&E Networks. I joined the creative development team at Condé Nast in 2019; writing, directing, and producing editorial formats for VOGUE, GQ, Wired, Allure, Glamour, Bon Appétit. In the last 6 years, I’ve worked as staff CD, contractor, and creative consultant for institutions like the United Nations, start-ups, and mostly ad agencies.

I’m deeply committed to supporting women and diverse voices, shedding light on hidden stories, and leading with integrity. An enthusiast, I’m infinitely curious about AI. I paint often and stay up-to-date with global politics, the art world, contemporary literature, films, and podcasts about psychology.
