Twenty years at Disney/ABC. Several hundred hours of documentary series, specials, sports features, promos, brand integrations, and visual journalism across ABC-owned stations nationwide, Hulu, Nat Geo, and live events including fifteen years covering the Academy Awards red carpet.
The same instincts run through work I've built for dozens of partner brands. A 60-minute special and a 15-second vertical get the same attention — each built for the platform it will live on.
A master’s degree in Narrative and Emerging Media, with training in immersive production, virtual production, Unity, Unreal Engine, and 3D simulations. All part of a continued interest in the technologies reshaping how stories are made and experienced.
Generative AI is now folded into that pipeline as another tool in the edit bay, not a genre of its own. The technology serving the story—not the other way around.
