Entertainment, Film, Corporate, Editorial, Fashion, and Beauty.
I enjoy the challenge of discovering and distilling the essence of a product's story with visual acuity, applying it to art and creative writing across various categories, including product, beauty, fashion, and entertainment.
During my ten-year tenure with LIONSGATE Entertainment / Creative Services, I worked with high-profile theatrical, television, and fitness titles for consumer, trade, print, outdoor, and digital platforms.
Before joining Lionsgate, I created Entertainment advertising for multiple movie studios, ran my own entertainment advertising business, and handled high-profile theatrical campaigns, including key art, print, digital, and outdoor advertising.
I worked on major motion picture production sets, including Malcolm X and The Five Heartbeats. My role was to extract the graphic art components from the scripts to create graphics that informed the multiple production sets of the film, including its period, location, and characters, thereby enhancing the actors' performances.
