As an Art & Creative Director with 20+ years of experience in AAA game development and feature film visual effects, I have led talented and creative teams to bring amazing gameplay experiences to players worldwide.My most recent role was at Respawn Entertainment, where I directed the creative vision, strategy, and alignment across creative teams for an unannounced single-player game. I managed multiple disciplines and collaborated closely with team leadership to align vision throughout the project. My mission is to push boundaries that lead to growth and ultimately achieve greatness. I am a lifelong creative artist, athlete, and martial artist. I have competed in multiple endurance sports, including 13 Ironman triathlons, in the US and Europe. My experiences training and racing have helped me become a better leader and mentor. Endurance racing and competition taught me how to strive for goals that may seem impossible through dedication, consistency, and teamwork. My skills include team building, director-level management, effective communication, pipeline development, outsourcing, and visual storytelling. My strengths are creative leadership, critical thinking, innovation, collaboration, mentoring, and coaching. I thrive in environments where innovation, collaboration, and creativity are key.
