Bringing the culture into narratives that connect.
Film Director. Creative Director. Manager.
Behind the work
Looking at it now, a lot of who I am now and the interests I find myself participating in are very much in line with who I was as a kid in Pittsburgh just running around the neighborhood with my friends. Very adventurous. Very imaginative. Very active. Sports, research, travel, and creativity were all things I both consciously and unconsciously delved into then and now. It’s allowed me to have a purposeful and interesting life personally and professionally.
I got my start in New York City pitching video concepts for the NBA including ideas for the 2020 NBA Bubble season fan experience and I haven’t stopped pitching since. From content to experiential activations, I helped create ways for fans to stay engaged, and I produced video concepts published across NBA and WNBA digital platforms.
That same drive sparked the launch of Passion Project Creative, where I directed, edited, and produced independent video projects that kept my hunger alive and sharpened my skills. What began as passion soon grew into a business. I’ve secured funding, won contracts, and closed five-figure projects with brands and partners.
Along the way, I’ve gained experience with The Andy Warhol Museums Warhol Creative Production Agency, and other collaborators as account manager and coordinator. I’ve managed ongoing client relationships with clients such as 2nd Skull and Eastside Golf, where trust and collaboration have been at the center of the work. Through managing those relationships so well and with healthy communication I’ve been able to gain sponsorship from brands like Social Status and Dobra Tea.
Shifting to the creative side my work has been deemed detail heavy, culturally relevant, cinematic, character-driven, and informational. My style as a video and creative director pulls audiences in through world-building, close character/community study, and attention to details like wardrobe, props, and color. My work draws from culture and identity to create stories that resonate with communities , always weaving in insights and information people can take with them. I’ve led creative teams under NBCU’s programs, pitched and executed creative concepts for campaigns like Neighborhood Allies and Nike.
The work

My rules to problem solving:
Start with ears, not answers
I listen & observe before I create, strategize, or talk. The brief, client, audience, my heart and the culture always tell me what’s really going on.
Culture and Experiences are the compass
I look for cultural truths, references, and symbols that shape how people actually experience life, including how I experience it.
Flip it on its head
I turn those briefs and insights into creative concepts that are out of the box and culturally relevant.
