  May 2008 - Apr 2014

  Editor/Filmmaker

  With a background in film, I have been fortunate to work in some of the largest and varied productions. As an editor my work has run the gamut from broadcast television and documentary film, to pilots and acting reels, even corporate video and product launch marketing. Filmmaking has always been a passion of mine and that, too, has not been limited to a single category. I currently am exploring VR and the new medium of 360 video and am interested in how new stories can be told in this immersive format. Show less

  Creative Director/Sr. Motion Graphics Animator

  As a creative director at ZEFR, I used my background in video production and understanding of the internet zeitgeist to create content that resonated with audiences of film and pop culture alike. I oversaw design and implementation of a variety of motion graphics and video projects such as title sequences, visual effects, interactive design, corporate video, as well as offering creative direction on the day to day video series, mashups, and parodies. These efforts resulted in billions of views and subscribers on our YouTube networks as well a slew of ad sales opportunities from major media brands.Our ad sales opportunities allowed us to operate as a media agency where we would control and create the content inventory (many times custom for the campaign). Because we were experts in understanding our content inventory and audience insights, we were able to best create content that reached the target audience, often times over-indexing on ad impressions and click through for the client. I worked very closely on development, pricing, and strategy with our ad sales, marketing and business development teams, often times handling last minute RFPs and conceiving different strategies as necessary to win new business.

  As Creative Director, I lead the video production and social media teams in the conception, development and execution of programming including scripted shows, social video, and interactive products across the Rotten Tomatoes, Fandango, and Movieclips brands.Using scalable production workflows and templates, some of which use data to drive content automation, I have given teams more bandwidth to reinvest into creative execution, without sacrificing quality. In addition, I have grown our business by increasing our audience through user testing, data analysis, an iterative development process, and my deep understanding of the online video ecosystem.
