About

I've spent fifteen years making things — feature films, commercials, immersive installations, interactive experiences, and AI-generated media. The thread through all of it is the same: take a complex creative vision, build the team and systems to execute it, and deliver something people actually care about.

I've produced 8 features with Academy Award–winning filmmakers, served as Chief Producer of the largest immersive art museum in China, co-founded an award-winning AI startup, and now lead AI strategy and production at Sawhorse — Telly Awards Production Company of the Year 2025 — producing for Microsoft, Google, Coca-Cola, and Warner Brothers.

I teach production at USC's School of Cinematic Arts, where my courses integrate AI, emerging technologies, and innovative workflows into the craft of filmmaking.

I'm interested in the people and companies defining how AI reshapes creative production. If that's what you're building, I'd like to talk.
