I am an award-winning producer and storyteller creating connected and immersive story-worlds between physical and digital products. I help companies and brands discover new ways to create connection and sometimes re-engagement with their audience.
In working with some of the world’s most recognized family brands such as Barbie, Disney, and Harry Potter, I’ve learned that technology has transformed the way people hear, understand and play the stories they love. I believe that all brands, services, locations and products benefit when their stories are told with creativity, consistency and what I call “user-shared spaces.”
