Film sets taught me how to execute. Building a 620K+ community taught me what makes people care.

Today I bring both perspectives to consumer brands: strategic thinking grounded in real production experience and real audience behaviour.

I work at the point where audience insight becomes an idea, and that idea has to survive the script, production and performance feedback.

Background

Before strategy came the set.

Before moving into creative strategy, I worked in Assistant Direction across more than 50 film and television productions. As a Second Assistant Director, both during preparation and on set, I coordinated shooting schedules, cast, extras, call sheets, crew call times and daily production documents.

That experience taught me how to turn a creative intention into a workable plan, align many moving parts and keep execution moving under pressure. It is still part of how I approach creative strategy today.
