About

I’m a content specialist, editorial director and filmmaker who has spent most of my career as an editor-in-chief, creative strategist, brand editor, communicator and globetrotter. I’ve worked with international brands like LVHM, Singapore Airlines, Bauer Media, MTV Asia and Ogilvy & Mather to tell stories with energy, insight and style. I’m now looking for a brand or collection of brands that believe in the power of content and digital just as deeply as I do—and who share a passion for storytelling that sells products.
