Hello and welcome. Here’s the work I’ve done that’s most meaningful to me. Hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I did working on it.

In the biggest election ever, low income urban areas faced fewer voting stations, longer lines and virtually no community outreach programs. Boost stores were in those areas. We decided to do what everyone said we couldn't: turn places to buy goods into places that do good.

I pitched and co-wrote a first of its kind scripted reality TV show on MTV for the Axe brand called, The Gamekillers. The experiment worked. The one hour pilot was so successful, MTV ordered a second series the following year. 

The tragic Syrian refugee situation fueled debate across the globe. As the crisis raged, the only voices not being heard were those of the children affected. We told their stories, using their words and animation. Unfairy Tales - some stories were never meant for children.
