A Los Angeles-based creative and consultant with 15 years of experience transforming napkin scribbles into full-fledged campaigns, commercials, films, shows, and episodic content. I’ve led high-budget projects for Google, Apple, Netflix, NBC, and Disney—yes, your favorite corporate overlords— as well as supporting independent and nonprofit initiatives.
I’m usually involved in the full project lifecycle—from strategy and concept development to writing, directing, and complete end-to-end production. My background is in improv and comedy (UCB, Second City alumni), film (UCLA) and writing (UofO School of Journalism).
Career highlights include a film featuring Mickey Rourke and Carl Weathers ("The Delivery"), working with Michael Phelps, and dropping a man from a second-story window (unrelated to Michael Phelps). Oh, and directing some Jack in the Box spots while 9 ½ months pregnant.
