Creative Director — Video, Motion & Brand
I'm a creative director with 26 years of experience leading brand storytelling, video, and integrated campaigns across agency, corporate, and independent studio environments — including work with 30+ regulated clients across financial services, healthcare, and nonprofit sectors.
My approach is grounded in what I call the Five C's: being client-centric, a creative storyteller, bringing clarity and trust through active listening, collaborating across teams, and bringing strategy to life through craft. I lead as a servant leader — with empathy, support, and a collaborative style that helps teams do their best work.
I bring a hybrid skill set across art direction, design, video, motion, and post-production, backed by deep experience in workflow design and creative operations. Ten years of classical music training also shaped my approach to editing and sound design — giving me a strong sense of timing, rhythm, and emotional pacing in ways no software ever could.
I'm the founder of Pixel Riot, an independent creative studio delivering full-service brand, video, and motion work for financial, nonprofit, and consumer clients — the natural extension of how I've always worked.
Colleagues and collaborators have called me a creative unicorn — equal parts strategic thinker, visual storyteller, and production problem-solver. I'd just say I care deeply about the work, the people, and the process — and I don't know how to do it any other way.
