ABOUT

Technology changes faster than people’s ability to trust it, so work that lasts is the work people believe.

For 18 years I’ve built at the convergence of narrative, experience, design, and system: the studios, environments, and engines in which audiences commit.

NBCUniversal · Amazon · WarnerMedia · Ogilvy
