Journeying between Storytelling,
Development, & Production
Originally from Canada, with roots in the U.S. and Finland, I bring a global perspective to creative processes, media production, and different forms of business development.
Now based in Helsinki, I’ve spent over a decade collaborating with a wide range of designers and creatives across industries and cultures.
My journey began in Philadelphia, working in film and TV before shifting into the agency world. Since then, I’ve partnered with global brands like Nokia, Microsoft, Stora Enso, and Fiskars, helping turn their media challenges into meaningful creative solutions.
Over time, my focus has evolved toward in-house roles where I pitch, plan, and help execute strategies that connect brand vision with real-world results.
In Boston, I deepened my media production expertise at Formlabs, driving high-impact product launches and building stronger internal capabilities. Today, at Wärtsilä, I focus on elevating brand presence and optimizing creative workflows on a global scale.
