A little about me

 

As a 10-year veteran of the music industry, my abilities to wrangle a crew of creatives is untouchable.

My projects ranged from scheduling and managing major recording studio sessions to delivering the final audio masters over to manufacturing; hip-hop, pop, jazz, broadway cast recordings, and major motion picture scores, you name it. If the project was with one of my teams, I was the guy you could count on to make your project run smoothly. ‘Cuz after all, if Beyoncé, Britney, Adele, or Justin Bieber need to make a deadline… there’s only one solution and it’s called ‘figure it out and save the day’ because there are no other options.

That said, after years of working with creatives, I realized it was time for me to tap into a creative outlet of my own, so I graciously stepped back to venture, travel and discover myself.

As of today, my project management skills have been elevated to serve as production lead with wave.xyz and production director + head of studio at Unified Strategy, and my digital work brings awareness to powerful nonprofit topics, hospitality and lifestyle locations, podcasts, and the most magical little book Oprah has still yet to discover!

What makes me different

My experience combines my wickedly articulate project management skills with my cleverly impactful digital skills to churn out scroll-stoping visuals for brands and influencers.

With my client-partners, we co-create a thoughtful, visually impactful way to punch through today’s noisy digital space so their brand can land softly, yet purposefully into the laps of the individuals who need them.

 

Marketing in the digital landscape has shifted from shoving ads into people’s faces to delivering thoughtful, compelling, engaging content resulting in scroll-stopping visuals that inspire and entertain while nurturing familiarity and trust.
