Two decades of experience producing and directing creative content across multiple platforms. My range is eclectic, from political to satirical, glossy to guerilla, but always invoking and functional. I am scrappy, empathetic, resourceful, able to pivot on a whim, and unfazed by bullshit.
Made in Georgia. Let's make some good trouble y'all.
