I like building things that connect.

People. Data. Platforms. Experiences. Ideas.

I’ve spent my career moving between creative work, entertainment, marketing and technology. Today I design the infrastructure that helps all of them work together.

A portfolio of systems, brands, experiences and experiments.

Brands I’ve worked with.

A selection of companies, festivals and artists I’ve worked for, partnered with or supported.

Built across different worlds.
