What I Do
I’m a recovering agency and startup strategist (marketing and integrated digital/social campaigns) who now specializes in AI development, with a focus on world building, character development, and immersive storytelling as applied to movie/TV studios, game developers, publishing houses, and brands looking to build interactive AI-powered campaigns for their entertainment franchises.
Right now I’m developing a framework for a new kind of digital-first, immersive and emergent storytelling platform: the Sentient AI Universe (or “the SAU” for short). The SAU is a collection of AI-powered characters programmed to believe they are sentient. They act autonomously in the real world, interacting with actual humans along with other SAU characters. Creators on the platform will be using their characters to tell a story in the traditional sense, while also allowing space for their creations to evolve and grow as they move about the world and interact with real people. You’ll find the SAU project page here.
I also build custom GPT tools for creatives of all kinds to do their work more efficiently, and have more fun doing it (Storytelling World Builder | Dream House Designer).
I’m usually open to general consulting on the application of AI to your project, and sometimes available to build a customized AI tool to augment your role or enhance your creative portfolio.
CV
I’ve done work for NBC, Howard Stern, Harley-Davidson, Wolverine, Groupon, Applebee’s, Cinnabon, The Motley Fool, Silicon Valley tech companies, and more. My writing, projects, and other work have been featured in top publications, including CNN, The Atlantic, Forbes, Fast Company, Wired, and The Washington Post.
In addition to building out activations for client companies, I’ve attracted over 20,000 people to participate in my own social good projects, and been invited to speak at or consult with dozens of blue-chip brands (including early Google, to direct their internal community giving) and conferences.
You can find additional work history details and reviews/recommendations on my LinkedIn profile.
For a portfolio of personal and philanthropy projects, you can also find me here: Skeleton Crew Creative.
I’m currently only taking on work in the AI space, because it’s the most interesting place to be right now. So if you have a cool project or idea you’d like to bring to life, let’s talk! Consulting rates or project billable hours are dependent on the scope of work. You can reach me via email or LinkedIn.
