I build AI systems that change how creative teams actually work.

Here’s the thing about most AI adoption. Teams buy the tools, run a few experiments, and then go right back to doing things the way they always have. The tool sits there. Nobody’s workflow actually changes. I walk in and that changes. Not because I hand people a deck, but because I sit down next to them and we build something together. People want to sit next to me at work because that’s where the learning happens. That’s where someone goes from "I don’t really get AI" to "wait, I just cut my review cycle in half."

I push beyond status quo. Every time. If a workflow has existed for five years and nobody’s questioned it, I’m questioning it. If there’s a faster, smarter, more creative way to move, I’m prototyping it before the meeting ends. And I never advise on something I’m not also doing myself. Whatever I’m telling your team to try, I’ve already tried it. I’m building OMNIII, a voice-first AI orchestrator, from scratch. I’m running AI pipelines inside real productions at Asteria. I’m testing these systems with my own content, my own audience, my own workflows. This isn’t theoretical for me. I genuinely love this stuff. It brings me joy in a way that’s hard to explain without sounding corny, but it’s true.

My work sits between product, engineering, and creative. I prototype real AI systems, test them inside actual production environments, and show teams what changes when AI becomes part of the operating system instead of just another app on the desktop.

I spent years at DreamWorks Animation training artists on films like How to Train Your Dragon, Trolls, and The Bad Guys. After that I went deep into AR, XR, and AI before most of the industry showed up. These days I lead the A.R.T. Department at Asteria, advise companies like Meta, Apple, and Adobe, teach on MasterClass, and build tools for creators who want AI to work the way they think.

And underneath all of it, I’m a dad, a curious builder, and someone who genuinely believes we can make this future feel human.
