I was recruited to Stink Films in September 2019 to launch and oversee the music video division in the US, as well as head up the new talent initiative under the banner of ‘Stink Rising’ to develop up and coming directors. Since then, I’ve produced commercials for clients such as McDonald’s, Lays, Sprite, Lacoste, Levi’s, Nike, Vans, etc. as well as music videos for artists such as The Weeknd, Megan Thee Stallion, A$AP Rocky, Joji, Giveon, and many more. During my time at Stink my job responsibilities grew to executive producing domestic and international commercial campaigns, while continuing to head up Stink’s music video division, signing and developing new directors to keep Stink’s roster fresh and relevant, as well as generally contributing to the company’s overall rebranding efforts, such as spearheading the redesign and redevelopment of the new website. Stink Films is an award-winning and globally recognized commercial production company with 10 offices in Los Angeles, London, Berlin, Paris, Prague, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Singapore, so my experience collaborating and overall knowledge of various advertising markets around the world became vast and complete.

Prior to working at Stink, I was running a production company called Burning Film, which I founded in 2015 shortly after graduating college. Similarly, to my role at Stink – producing narrative, commercial, and music video projects – my job responsibilities expand much further than that as Burning Film was my own self-operated small business. My day-to-day consisted of new job sales, bidding and pitching projects, client services, producing and project management, scouting new talent, post-production services, general business operations such as accounting and bookkeeping.

My time at Soylent overlapped with running my production company Burning Film. Soylent is a meal replacement beverage company that started out of Silicon Valley with venture capitol backings. I was brought into Soylent to develop and produce commercial campaigns with their in-house creative team, as well as consult on strategy with their CMO and CEO to drive product sales and further expand their brand identity. At Soylent we utilized the pre-existing infrastructure of my production company to produce all the on-going video production projects.
