I spent the first decade of my career in feature film. I started as a production assistant, became a union crew member, and then moved into visual effects. After several years on set, I joined Paramount Pictures, where I worked on a variety of movies, including World War Z, Borat, and the Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Paranormal Activity franchises.

In 2015, I joined Vrse.works, a pioneering virtual reality studio making some of the first immersive films. I produced and led post-production on projects that earned an Emmy nomination, a Cannes Lions Grand Prix, and other honors. Along the way, I collaborated with a roster of acclaimed directors, including Academy Award nominees Luca Guadagnino and Lucy Walker.

I also directed my own VR films, which were selected for Cannes, Tribeca, and the Venice Biennale.

While working in VR, I became interested in how AI could make immersive worlds more believable. That led me to start Artie, one of the first AI startups focused on the entertainment industry. We launched multiple products, earned several U.S. patents, raised $40M in venture capital, and grew to nearly 50 people before the company was acquired in 2024.

Since then, I’ve continued building in AI while returning to creative work. Most recently, I produced Azul, a sci-fi short film shot in Mexico that won an Ariel, one of Mexican cinema’s most prestigious awards.

I’ve spoken about the future of entertainment at venues such as SXSW, Google, Meta, and Sundance. [Full bio →]
