Experiential Storyteller

I create immersive experiences for clients of all sizes, from independents, to world-class museums to fortune 100/500 companies. Single activations to full experience master plans. Strategy, to concept, to execution.

I've worked on projects for Netflix, HBO, Amazon, ACMI, New York Life, The Economist, Master Card and Cinemax, enjoyed by hundreds of thousands and recognized by Cannes Lions, Clios, World Press Photo, NYFF, AMaGA Victoria, 1 Emmy nomination, and more.

What I do

STORY STRATEGIST

I help clarify goals, principles, and stories.

I facilitate collaborative workshops with stakeholders.

I form storytelling strategies and develop stories and storytelling formats to satisfy those strategies.

Experience STRATEGIST

I create strategies and principles that guide experience design.

With my 20+ year history in technology, I provide insight into the latest tools, processes, and technologies, and I keep an eye on what’s feasible from the start.

Producer

I identify and coordinate with architects, designers, and technologists, based on goals, strategies, budgets, internal capabilities, and more.

I establish maintenance procedures to ensure long-term project sustainability.

  • POST: The Nature of Immersion

    For as long as I can remember, I've been an obsessive reader. I think I peaked in my early twenties, when I consumed at least five books a week.

I create worlds for the same reason I dive into others': I want to live in those worlds. I want to know the characters, survey the landscapes, feel the environments, and go on the adventures.

    I want total immersion.
