I’m a producer, operator, and founder focused on turning ambitious ideas into real, executable projects.

A lot of my work sits between the creative and operational sides of a project. I help define the scope, build the budget and schedule, organize the team, manage vendors, and carry the work through design, engineering, fabrication, installation, and show.

As a Senior Producer at Vita Motus Design Studio in Los Angeles, I’ve worked across live events, broadcast, production design, festivals, international ceremonies, and large-scale public projects.

I started in festival production, working across Lightning in a Bottle, Coachella, EDC, Do LaB, and Insomniac. That background taught me how much the quality of the final result depends on the structure behind it. Good creative work needs clear decisions, strong systems, and people who know how to move a project forward.

Outside of production, I founded Sonus Club, where I manage and develop artists. I also founded Arqiv, a commerce data company.

The industries are different, but the work is similar. I’m interested in building the structure that allows creative ideas, businesses, and people to grow.
