MAKING THINGS+ MAKING THINGS HAPPEN
CREATIVE
SERVICES
cross-industry creative vision + content strategy + community engagement + multimedia storytelling
I LOVE helping artists, media makers, mission-driven brands, and organizations craft powerful narratives and immersive experiences that spark curiosity, build trust, and inspire connection.
As a creative director, writer, producer, and performing artist, I’ve developed a wide-ranging skillset integrating digital media and content strategy, social impact storytelling, documentary and podcast production, original music curation, experiential marketing, fundraising, and community engagement. In this creative ecosystem, my superpower is identifying and activating invisible networks for exponential impact.
From creating, producing and hosting the award-winning documentary series Made In America with millions of views to developing and hosting the podcast Hope Is My Middle Name, I’ve seen stories change hearts and minds in the wildest of ways. As an interviewer and host, I’ve learned that curiosity and compassion go a long way in navigating complicated conversations. And as a Citizen University Fellow and co-founder of Civic Saturday Akron, I’ve witnessed the power of community-centered narratives to strengthen culture and catalyze change.
Whether designing a city-wide event, developing a brand narrative, producing a documentary, or hosting a podcast, it all comes down to a really good story — one that makes us feel something we will never forget.
