TELEVISION & DIGITAL MEDIA

2 x National Emmy Award-winning television producer and storyteller with work spanning network, cable, and digital media.

TELEVISION

I’ve spent more than two decades creating entertainment and documentary programming for broadcast and cable television. From the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony and MTV’s live New Year’s Eve broadcast in Times Square to documentaries for CBS News and PBS, I’ve had the opportunity to tell stories alongside artists including Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder, and the Backstreet Boys.

BRAND MEDIA

brandnewdaydesigns was an editorial website and YouTube channel I created to celebrate beautifully designed + functional products that make everyday life happy. As editor and producer, I developed the brand from the ground up—building the website, writing articles, creating graphics, photographing products, producing + hosting videos, and interviewing the designers, artists, and innovators behind the work. I collaborated with brands including Bang & Olufsen, Sony, LG, Logitech, Nike, Converse, Polaroid, Ultimate Ears, Spoonflower, and adorne, creating content that inspired consumers to see design as an essential part of everyday living.

IMPACT STORIES

Throughout my career, I’ve produced documentaries and profiles that elevate overlooked voices, explore complex issues, and connect audiences to the people behind the headlines. These stories span healthcare, education, advocacy, and culture—but all share a common goal: helping viewers better understand the world around them.

MEET AUDEN – I traveled to Washington, D.C., to interview Auden, a transgender civil rights attorney, about their cancer diagnosis and the personal experiences that continue to shape their advocacy. It was an opportunity to tell the story of someone whose commitment to advancing LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities is deeply rooted in lived experience.

MEET FRED – I loved talking to Fred. An accomplished composer and professor at an Ivy League university in New York City, Fred spoke candidly about his prostate cancer journey and the unique challenges he faced as a gay Black man. What stayed with me most was his message: educate yourself, advocate for yourself, and don’t try to go through it alone.

OBT – The Entertainment Community Fund (formerly The Actors Fund) connected me with Opportunities for a Better Tomorrow (OBT), an organization committed to breaking the cycle of poverty through education, job training, and employment. I produced this video to highlight OBT’s mission and the transformative impact it has on the young people it serves.

CHUCK NEGRON – Had to break out some vintage VH1 for y’all. I produced this profile of Chuck Negron, lead singer of Three Dog Night, for a VH1 special on celebrities and heroin addiction. It was a great assignment where the story extended far beyond the music. Chuck drove me through Los Angeles, revisiting places where addiction had taken hold, then welcomed me into his home to meet the family who stood by him throughout his recovery. Creatively, it was a chance to blend film, video, and archival photography to tell a deeply personal story. This piece was a precursor to VH1’s Behind the Music franchise. Rest easy, Chuck. You were a gentleman, and I’m grateful our paths crossed.
