Over 5+ years, I helped build a trailer house into a full-fledged creative agency with a singular focus on video games—primarily launch campaigns for AA and AAA titles. In my interdisciplinary roles I grew from writing on individual trailers to leading creative on full campaigns, championing the agency initiative to put narrative and authenticity first. 

As ACD & Head Writer, I oversaw creative on every new campaign and lead a small team of writers to build creative platforms, messaging, concepts, treatments, & scripts, further collaborating with strategists to develop brand foundations like voice, tone, & strategic platform. I regularly interfaced with clients, including presenting and pitching.

Joining the agency side, I contributed to creative platforms and 360 campaign work, wrote concepts, copy, scripts, dialogue, and pitch decks, and produced and creative directed projects from pre-production to delivery across a variety of tones, voices, and audiences. Plus, I got to write for some of my favorites games of all time. I'm looking at you, Witcher 3.

Brought on for an entry-level role, but proved my effectiveness, which lead to acquiring more responsibilities and specialized training. Primarily, I playtested games for functional, certification, and analytic issues while reporting to management.

I made pretentious short films during my career at Columbia. They lacked both wide shots and subtlety.
