I work across AI, law, design, and media, drawing on a career that has moved through creative direction, production, technology, and litigation. I am perpetually curious and an obsessive researcher. My work is guided by long-range thinking and an instinct for conceptual leaps; imagining what can exist before it does, and then building it.
I completed high school through an accredited remote program in the Midwest, and went on to build a successful career in New York, before pursuing higher education. - - During the pandemic, I began my undergraduate studies at Harvard University with preparation for a JD in mind, concentrating on literature and legal studies, while continuing to explore my interests in technology and science. While in school, I worked as a freelance journalist on pieces covering the art market, auctions, and art crime.
At Harvard, I studied The Future of Humanity: AI – A Systems Approach with Dr. Fawwaz Habbal, Senior Lecturer on Applied Physics and Executive Dean for Education and Research at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The course examined intelligence through the frameworks of systems science and physics. In Astrobiology I used Python to assess real-time space-debris risk, and for my final paper, Entropy Fold: Life, Mind, Machine, I explored how life and intelligence emerge as “tri-reflective” systems within entropy, applying thermodynamic principles to both biological and artificial cognition. -- In the humanities, I analyzed responses to technological paradigm shifts throughout history in a course with Martin Puchner, PhD, and bridged literature and law through close readings of Kafka’s The Trial and Before the Law. I completed coursework in legal studies, including legal writing, legal argument, and comparative law, with leading experts and lecturers from Harvard Law School.
My current focus is on the evolving intersection of artificial intelligence, business, and law at Luminance, a London-based AI company founded by mathematicians and researchers from the University of Cambridge. It is globally recognized as a leader in applying machine learning to legal analysis. In my role, I create contextual definitions used in supervised machine learning systems, code complex conditionality, assist with large language model (LLM) development and validation, build back-end system workflow mapping, provide in-person support to clients, and manage sensitive documents.
In the legal world, I have drafted complex motions for high-profile cases involving major technology companies, government employees, and high-net-worth individuals in civil, supreme, and federal courts. My focus in litigation support has been on strategy, structure, and deep research, both legal and background.
Earlier in my career, I led branding and creative projects for Radio City Music Hall, The LA Forum, the New York Knicks, the New York Rangers, and the Rockettes. I was part of Madison Square Garden’s $1.5B “transformation team,” working closely with BBB Architects and Chase Bank on the venue’s redesign.
At BuzzFeed, I served as Director of Operations for production, where I built and scaled the company’s first in-house production departments in New York and Los Angeles. I oversaw national research, creative green-lighting, casting, contracts, and monetized video production, and partnered with data-science teams to apply analytics to content strategy. My oversight also included partnerships with Meta/Facebook, YouTube, Amazon, Samsung and NBC Universal. Projects produced under my leadership received Webby and Shorty Award nominations.
My path into technology began as a student UI/UX consultant at Adobe’s New York headquarters, contributing to the InDesign development team. That early experience with design tools led to consulting and freelance work across music and entertainment.
I have also served on advisory boards for The Advanced Imaging Society (Disney, IMAX, Panasonic) and Infinity Festival Hollywood, organizations dedicated to the future of AI, augmented reality, and emerging media.
For AIS, I designed the Lumiere Award, and guided it’s production with R.S. Owens & Company. Recipients of the award include Steven Spielberg, Tim Burton and Tom Cruise.
Today I bring these experiences together through my work in AI and creative technology, focusing on building tools, systems, and stories that push ideas forward.
