00 · ABOUT

As Executive Producer on 17 Webby Awards shows, I led all creative for "The Internet's Biggest Night" — from show concept and script to stage design, motion graphics, video packages, and host and talent moments. I built and managed a roster of creative and production vendors across writing, design, animation, and production, shaping each year's show into a cohesive creative vision and packaging the highlights into a fast-paced release for audiences across the internet.
