WAIT,
DESIGNING
THE FUTURE?
Yes, I agree—sounds vague, maybe even grandiose.
I say this because I can back it up.

I'm the connective tissue
between two worlds...
FILM
Future world-building and creative consulting that expands imaginations in science-fiction, and extends to streaming + AAA gaming.
TECH
Vision, guidance, and leadership focused on the future of real-world digital products from the biggest names in tech.
My strength is in the overlap between these two worlds. I inspire teams & organizations by balancing a cinematic mindset with human-centered design.
FILM
For 15 years, working in film has been a blue-sky R&D space to explore the most imaginative ideas possible.
EPIC
COLLABORATIONS
I've been fortunate to work closely with several of the greatest minds in entertainment. These experiences have made an enormous impact on my approach to creativity and collaboration.
WORLD-BUILDING
TECHNOLOGIES
My primary focus in film is designing fictional technologies that are inspiring yet logical, carefully crafted to invite a deeper curiosity from the audience. I am proud to be at the forefront of this particularly niche specialty.
DESIGN + FILM
Design is a powerful tool in film— whether through a dramatic title sequence, clever transitions or a carefully crafted conspiracy montage. I love revealing the unexpected ways that design can solve various challenges in the filmmaking process.

CONCEPT
DEVELOPMENT
Creating the north stars that strike the balance between practicality, impact, and feasibility. Ideas and concepts that solve problems, stir emotions, and generate momentum.

AUTOMOTIVE
Between electrification and autonomous, there has never been a more exciting time for the future of mobility.

STRATEGY

DESIGN
The digital experience is now the primary point of communication between vehicle and driver. I enhance functionality while embellishing the emotional aspects of the vehicle.
