Media Producer. Brand Architect. Strategist. Cultivator. Writer.

I dream the big picture, but work the details. I believe each project, each client, each colleague deserves passion, dedication and respect. I believe in reaching and delivering beyond expectations - yes, it means pushing boundaries and expectations!

I believe we should learn and get better every day. And I root for startups and local businesses. I aim for lean and agile. I believe in independent cinema, transmedia and powerful storytelling.

I hope my value add is the ability to synthesize strategy, management and creative execution..
