With over 12 years of production experience at the National Film Board of Canada (Digital Studio), prior to that as the Creative Technologist and Technical Director for Dare/Fjord/Cossette - one of Canada's premiere experience agencies, I have lead teams of varying sizes in conceiving of and building national and international award winning projects from VR, to games, to websites, to animation, to travelling exhibitions (and more). I craft ideas into plans, turn those plans into projects, and then guide distribution and marketing ensuring that it successfully reaches ideal audience. I excel at all the main producer requirements including: administration, audience definition, budgeting, concepting, writing, design, user experience design, building/leading teams, leading content + code development and planning and executing on distribution/marketing.

Documentary, art and science based XR (VR/AR/MR), websites, games, installations, video, and audio productions Developed projects with budgets ranging from $2k to $1.5M

Exhibited and screened interactive media at world renowned festivals including Sundance, Tribeca, SXSW, ViFF, Annecy, IDFA, and imagineNATIVE as well as universities, high schools, tribal councils, and community centres Planned, designed and executed indoor and outdoor interactive installations in various locations (e.g., Warsaw, New York, Toronto)

Led in the creation of robust engagement and distribution plans resulting in national and international press coverage

Extensive experience recruiting and developing talent, including projects with underrepresented populations – with a special focus on Indigenous communities

Created, with imagineNATIVE, a Digital Project Prize initiative for Indigenous creators interested in entering the difficult to produce world of new media

I'm located amongst the trees and mountains in wonderful Vancouver BC, Canada and enjoy's cycling (road, gravel, mountain), hanging with the family, playing with artificial intelligence (check out the experiments section of the website) and art and technology in general.
