As a Creative Lead specializing in immersive storytelling and emerging technology, I bring a hybrid approach—balancing creative vision with technical fluency to craft transformative experiences.

CREATIVE IDEATION
When you need breakthrough concepts for your project (whether for production or pitching)

The best experiential projects start with strategic research and exploring multiple creative possibilities. I research your competitive landscape, uncover insights that inspire breakthrough concepts, and facilitate ideation sessions that push beyond obvious solutions - perfect for internal development or high-stakes pitch presentations.

What this can look like:

  • Conducting competitive landscape research to identify opportunities

  • Discovering the insight that can be the foundation for a creative brief or concept

  • Prepping and facilitating structured brainstorming sessions with your team

  • Developing multiple concept variations across different creative approaches

  • Concept presentation decks with visuals to show not just tell

  • Creating innovation recommendations with clear implementation paths

CREATIVE DIRECTION
When your chosen concept needs comprehensive development (from pitch to production)

Once you've selected your creative direction, every design decision needs to support that central vision. I work with your team to develop concepts into comprehensive frameworks that align stakeholders, win presentations, and guide execution from initial pitch through final delivery.

What this can look like:

  • Leading creative review sessions with consolidated feedback

  • Representing creative vision in client presentations

  • Providing real-time creative guidance during design development

  • Maintaining creative oversight throughout production phases

  • Ensuring the core creative concept stays true and flexes to stay consistent through every decision point

EXPERIENTIAL DESIGN
When your concept needs to translate to a physical (or digital) form (pitch or production)

Bringing concepts to life through spatial design and environmental storytelling transforms abstract ideas into tangible experiences. I create immersive environment concepts that communicate vision clearly in presentations and provide practical guidance for production teams, including guest journey mapping and touchpoint orchestration.

What this can look like:

  • Conducting competitive landscape research to identify opportunities

  • Discovering the insight that can be the foundation for a creative brief

  • Prepping and facilitating structured brainstorming sessions with your team

  • Developing multiple concept variations across different creative approaches

  • Concept presentation decks with visuals to show not just tell

  • Creating innovation recommendations with clear implementation paths

CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY CONSULTATION
When your vision needs technical validation across emerging technologies (AI, VR, AR, Projection, Interactive, etc.)

Technical feasibility assessment prevents expensive surprises by evaluating whether creative concepts can actually be built successfully before production begins. I assess integration possibilities across projection mapping, AR/VR experiences, interactive installations, IoT sensors, AI-powered interactions, multi-surface displays, and custom fabrication requirements. I also act as your sidekick on technical calls to translate industry jargon and serve as the glue between creative and technical teams during production.

What this can look like:

  • Providing real-time feasibility "gut check" guidance during concept and design development

  • Emerging technology integration strategy consultation to know when to best use tech in which situations

  • Coordinating between departments to keep everyone aligned on creative and technical requirements

  • Facilitating communication between creative and technical teams during production

  • Conducting pre-production technical assessments with vendor capability evaluations

  • Joining vendor consultation calls to translate technical jargon

Your activation needs a unifying creative vision

CREATIVE DIRECTION

Developing the overarching creative vision for experiential projects means translating brand goals into compelling concepts that drive every creative decision.

Example deliverables: experience strategy documents, creative frameworks, concept presentation decks with visual storytelling, and creative briefs that guide the entire project from inception to execution.

EXPERIENCE STRATEGY

Multi-touchpoint experiences require careful orchestration to create meaningful connections between brands and audiences.

Example deliverables: guest journey maps, emotional experience flows, audience engagement strategies, cross-platform experience design, and immersive storytelling frameworks that map out how every moment of interaction serves the larger narrative and business goals.

EXPERIENTIAL DESIGN

Bringing concepts to life through spatial design and environmental storytelling transforms abstract ideas into tangible experiences.

Example deliverables: moodboards, spatial mockups and 3D visualizations (using Blender, Twinmotion, SketchUp), environmental design concepts, interactive media storyboards, and lighting and atmosphere design that creates the right emotional impact for your space.

CREATIVE IDEATION

Breakthrough thinking emerges from structured creative processes and collaborative exploration of possibilities.

Example deliverables: creative campaign concepts, multi-sensory experience frameworks, workshop facilitation outcomes, and innovative solutions that push beyond obvious approaches to find truly differentiated ideas that resonate with target audiences.

CREATIVE TECH CONSULTATION

Technical feasibility assessment prevents expensive surprises by evaluating whether creative concepts can actually be built successfully before production begins.

Example deliverables: pre-production feasibility reports, emerging technology implementation strategies, vendor capability evaluations (fabrication, AV, development, design), and innovation opportunity identification.

NEW BUSINESS PITCHING

Compelling narratives win work and align stakeholders around creative vision through strategic storytelling.

Example deliverables: new business pitch decks with persuasive frameworks, client presentation materials, thought leadership content, creative campaign presentations, and stakeholder alignment documents that communicate complex ideas clearly and convincingly.

CROSS-FUNCTIONAL TEAM LEADERSHIP

Bridging creative vision with practical execution across departments ensures original concepts survive the complexity of multi-disciplinary production.

Example deliverables: team communication protocols, creative standards documentation, vendor briefing templates, design intent specification sheets, production milestone checklists, and creative review process guides for technical teams.
