I am an Executive Producer, Creative Director, and Senior Producer with extensive experience across brand activations, experiential campaigns, live events, documentary production, institutional media, post-production operations, project management, and content strategy. I founded Story Stable to deliver end-to-end production for global brands, major streaming platforms, media companies, agencies, NGOs, and public-sector institutions. I excel both as a solo operator and when embedded within larger teams, leading with clarity, strong client-facing communication, and a disciplined approach to budgets and vendor relationships. In everything I do, I aim to tell compelling stories that drive impact, scale responsibly, and foster collaborative partnerships. From brand activations to complex documentary development, I guide multi-disciplinary teams through creative brief interpretation, production planning, field execution, and post-production workflows. I’m passionate about building sustainable production systems, nurturing client trust, and delivering high-quality, broadcast-ready assets for global distribution. I thrive on complex projects with strong stakeholder engagement and a clear path from concept to delivery.
