SERVICES

Bringing worlds to life

My mission is to create inspiring stories that move readers to make a positive change in their lives and their communities. Through my creative works, we seek to empower audiences to believe that anything is possible. I strive to build new worlds of creativity that entertain, inform, and empower.

Franchise Revitalization

I breathe new life into beloved franchises, reimagining classic stories for modern audiences while preserving their core essence and inspirational power. Through my unique blend of global perspective, visual storytelling, and narrative expertise, I transform aging properties into fresh, compelling content that resonates with contemporary viewers, inspiring positive change and reaffirming the belief that anything is possible.

Reboot IPs & Worlds

I specialize in rebooting intellectual properties and reimagining established worlds from any era – be it the 1880’s or 1980’s or beyond. Drawing on my global experiences and visual storytelling expertise, I revitalize IPs for today’s audiences, whether they’re retro classics or more recent cult favorites. My approach preserves the essence of the original while injecting fresh perspectives, ensuring rebooted properties resonate with longtime fans and new viewers alike. From forgotten gems to beloved franchises, I transform dated concepts into compelling, contemporary content that speaks to modern sensibilities.

Adaptive Storytelling

Adaptive Storytelling, or transmedia, is the art of creating immersive narratives that seamlessly span across television, film, comics, video games, and social media. Whether linking multiple TV shows, connecting a series to a movie franchise, or expanding a single story across various platforms, I develop multifaceted narratives that engage audiences on multiple levels. Drawing on my travels as a diplomat, I can enrich the viewer experience that opens up new avenues for fan engagement and franchise expansion, ensuring that each medium contributes uniquely to a cohesive, expansive story world.

Lifelines

I have a wealth of experience working in diplomacy, having lived in 10 countries and managing communications for embassies. My creative background as a playwright, photographer, and comic book creator has enabled me to create characters, visualize stories, and write compelling stories across a variety of genres. I’m passionate about collaborating with teams to bring stories to life on the page and stage.

“I create captivating stories that turn beloved properties into engaging and profitable multi-platform memories.”
