Creative Manager & Producer
My work spans campaign development, creative strategy, brand storytelling, account & project management, and the production of still-life shoots and short films, created alongside studios such as R2, This is Pacifica, Agency Leroy and Significa.
Curious by nature, I ask the “whys” and “hows” to help brands make space for connection, meaning and new possibilities. I focus on how projects resonate with the people they’re made for and the teams who bring them to life, from first thought to final form.
