SERVICES
cross-industry creative vision + content strategy + community engagement + multimedia storytelling
I LOVE helping artists, media makers, mission-driven brands, and organizations craft powerful narratives and immersive experiences that spark curiosity, build trust, and inspire lasting impact.
As a creative director, writer, producer, and performing artist, I’ve developed a wide-ranging skillset integrating digital media and content strategy, social impact storytelling, documentary and podcast production, original music curation, experiential marketing, fundraising, and community engagement.
From executive producing and hosting the award-winning documentary series Made In America with millions of views to developing and hosting the podcast Hope Is My Middle Name, I’ve seen stories bring people together in sometimes unimaginable ways.
As an interviewer and host, I’ve learned that curiosity and compassion go a long way in navigating complicated conversations. And in my work as a Citizen University Fellow and co-founder of Civic Saturday Akron, I’ve witnessed the power of community-centered narratives to catalyze social change and strengthen civic culture.
Whether designing a city-wide event, developing a brand narrative, producing a documentary, or hosting a podcast, it all comes down to the story — crafting a story that resonates far beyond the frame of experience, that makes us feel something we will never forget.
