I work across AI, law, 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 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 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. I continue to offer services in investigative legal and background research on an ad hoc basis, drawing on my passion for legal studies and technology.
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 operations, contracts, 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.
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 MSG Executives, BBB Architects and Chase Bank on the venue’s redesign.
In 2020, during the pandemic, I began my undergraduate studies at Harvard University remotely. I concentrated on literature and legal studies, while continuing to explore my interests in technology and science. 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.
While in college, I worked as a freelance journalist on pieces covering the art market, auctions, and art crime for major arts publications out of New York and London.
My path into technology began in my teenage years as a self-taught coder, customizing blogs for myself and for friends. I then spent time as a student UI/UX consultant at Adobe’s New York headquarters, contributing to the InDesign development team in the early 2000’s while interning at Mtv. These initial experiences using design tools led to consulting and freelance graphic design work across the music and entertainment industry.
In the 2010’s I 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, focusing on building tools, systems, and well-researched stories that push ideas forward.
