I'm Chicago's smartphone director. Every brand and creator I’ve launched a TikTok account for has achieved organic trending videos with hundreds of thousands of views.

 

I come from a non-traditional background -- I was a working actor and playwright before selling out and going corporate. I had my off-Broadway debut at 18. Now I help brands become people through creative that will blow up your For You page.

​

I’m a filmmaker and creative director who is an expert at creating strategic, thumb-stopping content for new media. I’m good at getting people to do things — go see live theatre on a sub-zero Chicago weeknight, or vote in an absurdly-long online poll for their favorite 3PL provider (everyone has one of those!), or make a movie together for zero dollars in a single weekend. 

​

My work has been featured in the Washington Post, off-Broadway at the Cherry Lane Theatre in NYC, and (my personal favorite) on TikTok where I have over 12 million video views. I'm not a traditional art or copy creative -- because I came up through video and live entertainment, I do both (and smile the whole time). 

​

I direct commercials, documentaries and short films, and mentor emerging filmmakers. I've worked with Claire's, Lincoln Park Zoo, The Second City and more!
