Film

Documentary filmmaking built around human stories, uncommon paths, and the meaning we find in the challenges we experience.

Technology & Innovation

Designing and building systems that connect people, data, workflows, and emerging technology inside complex organizations.

At the intersection of creative, organizational, and systems thinking.

Across fields and roles that appear quite different on the surface, I have consistently leveraged many of the same underlying capabilities, from systems thinking and narrative development to communication, orchestration, motivational leadership, and execution. The application shifts; the approach remains much the same.

Motivated by envisioning possibilities and doing the work required to make them real, I tend to hold the strategic view while remaining close to the details, bringing people and ideas together, and guiding complex projects from conception through completion.
