about
i'm an award-winning large-scale multimedia producer & business operations specialist currently based between victoria and toronto. driven to provide canada's top creative producers and brands with an alternate, in-house approach to experiential & integrated production. my focus is to evoke change and make tangible experiences, digital content and breath-taking moments more relevant & accessible.
with 20+ years of producing events, festivals, digital, video and more, my work spans globally. my specialty is in developing fully integrated programmes from scratch. i'm a self-proclaimed nerd with a passion for process development and i have a not-so-secret soft spot for not-for-profits and large, public art. with a drive to integrate multimedia within public spaces, i've recently been found playing with ar/vr technologies, webGL, AI policy development for digital production and diving into the world of advertising legal and business affairs.
a highlight in my career, i was a college professor for the better part of a decade developing and delivering up-to-date content for the next generation of producers. in 2019 i developed a first-of-it’s-kind production management course that teaches government policy, public systems, entertainment law and the ongoing impact of social policy on the entertainment industry.
my consultancy & strategy business is centred on bridging public policy & affairs within creative businesses. my clients are supported through business decisions impacted by our ever changing social scape. from AI ethics, to bill c-180, to ethical sponsorships i tailor strategy and execution to match both the client & public needs.
when not in the office, i've been described as: a health-food junkie, tea aficionado, urban cyclist, dog-lover, outdoor enthusiast, arts 'n tech nerd, international adventurist.
