Condé
Nast

As a freelance editor, I’ve created content for Condé Nast brand partners like a one-hour special celebrating the history of Pride for Ralph Lauren, a quirky visit with the staff of them.us for The Sims, and touching documentaries on women thriving with difficult health challenges for healthcare brands partnering with Self and Glamour. I also directed and edited a project for them starring Laith Ashley for Mastercard.

Chobani Brand Films

Working as producer and editor to help Chobani tell their story was a great lesson in how a strong visual brand can create a powerful story about a company that values its people as much as its profits.

Comedy Central & Paramount

I worked for 13 years in-house at Viacom/Paramount, as a Senior Creative Director and Director of Production at Logo, MTV, Comedy Central, and Paramount Digital. I led departments of producers and editors creating content across platforms, garnering Emmy nominations for digital projects for The Daily Show and Ru Paul’s Drag Race.

These are just a few of my favorites from this time.

Lifetime

I loved creating this series of short documentaries for Lifetime Television, profiling inspiring women in sponsor-friendly short format pieces. I produced, directed, and edited these spots for network use across A&E and History channel as well.

Veterinary Emergency Group

I worked as a Creative Director and helped edit a series of spots for the largest emergency veterinary company in the nation. It was a fun week of hanging with pets on set and an exciting edit and animation session.

DIY

I am an avid DIY enthusiast, so this craft and cooking series for quarantine life was close to my heart. I conceptualized, creative directed the animations, edited, and remotely directed crafting talent over Zoom for a comforting series made during a precarious time. These were used by Lifetime to attach brand sponsorships.
