Experience

I live at the intersection of tech, film, culture and comedy, and I build things that sit there. I came up through finance and studio analytics, so I know how corporate structures work. I think most of them are antiquated.

I'm drawn to cultural movements before they're obvious, and to changing the structures we operate inside. Mostly I like bringing structure to creative work and humor to business, and proving the two were never opposites.
