He has partnered with teams at CAA, Mastercard, Spotify, NBC, Amazon, Apple, Refinery29, Goop, and Rockefeller Center—and contributed to projects for The Atlantic, Superblue, L’Oréal, Lincoln Center, the Old Vic, and Kathryn Bigelow (The Protectors at Tribeca Film Festival). His work has been honored by the Clio Awards, Tribeca Immersive, Drama Desk, and BizBash.
