The Story Is the through line.

01 / THROUGHLINE

Fifteen years telling stories across the mediums that shape culture — media, brands, venues, festivals, social media. The format changes. The discipline underneath doesn't. Creative instinct, brand fluency, and real-world operating experience all shape the approach.

02 The approach
Most creatives can't run the business behind the story. Most operators can't tell one. I've spent my career in both.

Comfortable moving between culture, business, and execution —
especially in the rooms where all three have to work at once.

03 Past experience

The work sits at the intersection of brand strategy, content production, and live execution. End-to-end content for the biggest festivals and concerts in the country — pre-production through post, creative strategy through delivery. The best branded content doesn't feel like content. It feels like part of the experience.

  • Producing branded photo and video content for sponsors inside major festival and concert settings
  • Aligning creative execution with client objectives and broader brand goals
  • Developing concepts that translate naturally within live event environments
  • Coordinating production workflows from pre-production through post
  • Supporting multi-camera performance capture, shooter coordination, and editing pipelines
