I am a filmmaker, creative director, designer, storyteller, brand strategist, and musician living in San Francisco.
I'm currently on the publishing team at Stripe as the executive producer of films and brand content for Stripe Press and Works in Progress.
Throughout my career, I've been lucky enough to be on the ground level of some of the most innovative new tech companies. As one of the first brand-designers during the early stages of Facebook, I helped—shape the brand voice by writing and producing the first videos that told the human story of the product, build a unique internal company culture through co-founding that Analog Research Laboratory, and led environmental design of company's global offices and headquarters, working with Frank Gehry.
Next, I joined the early team at Pinterest as their first Brand Manager. There, I hired and managed the brand creative team, and developed the early brand strategy with the marketing team.
Equally as important, I was the Creative Director at the now-defunct logistics startup, Shyp. Through failing, I learned quite a great deal about navigating a brand and company through uncertain times.
I'm currently at Stripe, where similarly, I started on early on the design team. After a few years, I transitioned to the brand-comms team, to gain a different perspective on the organization while leveraging my narrative skills strategically. I've been focusing on telling stories about scientific and technological progress, global entrepreneurship, and carbon removal.
