About

Webby award-winning XD Content Strategist | Designer | Curator | Creator with a critically-acclaimed background in theater & film. Devoted to creating meaningful experiences. The XD principle, to center work on the needs & tastes of those who will experience it, is the foundation of all my content efforts, be it for a brand, on a digital product, in a museum, on television, on stage, or some combination therein.

My background is in writing, editing & directing for the stage & screen(s). Some of this work was anthologized in books of plays & about theater, presented by The Lincoln Center Directors Lab, The Public Theater, premiered at The Tribeca Film Festival, broadcast on network as well as cable television, & is on permanent display at The 9/11 Memorial Museum.

A lifelong learner, these classes inform my recent work:
