the work.

It’s been quite a ride. I’ve been fortunate to collaborate and create with CNN, Netflix, MTV, EPIX, PBS, Discovery, Travel, Paramount+, Starz, and Peacock…and partnered on campaigns with international brands like SONOS, Unilever, Sir Kensington’s, YETI, Spotify, Hennessy, and Mastercard. And absolutely love every minute of it.

After all, its awesome to join forces with like-minded people to tell great and impactful stories together. And maybe change the world a little bit for the better along the way.
