Creative producer with 12+ years of experience in multimedia storytelling across video, photography, and design, including nearly a decade as the go-to in-house creative resource for a global brand. I turn ideas and real conversations into polished, story-driven work, handling production and post-production from concept through final delivery. Equally comfortable developing concepts, conducting interviews, filming, editing, photographing, and designing, I thrive in multidisciplinary roles where I can own the creative process from start to finish.
