Hi. I’m a multidisciplinary writer, designer, and filmmaker based in Brooklyn. Below, you can see some of my recent projects.





MILLENNIUM FILM JOURNAL
Managing Editor
The Millennium Film Journal is the world’s longest-running publication on contemporary moving image art, founded in 1978.

Since 2018, I’ve worked for the Millennium Film Journal, most recently as the publication’s Managing Editor.

In addition to writing and editing articles, I oversee projects including distribution, screenings, and grant writing. Past contributions have included articles, intros, and video essays.

ROLLING STONE+
STARLING LABS
Illustration
In 2022 I made spot illustrations for a website redesign of Starling Labs, a privacy technology startup.

I also  contributed illustrations to  an interactive web article on Rolling Stone about the photographer Ron Haviv, in collaboration with Starling. The article and its associated content was recently nominated for a News & Doc Emmy in the “Outstanding Interactive Media” category.

THE GARDEN OF ETHLY DELIGHTS
Illustration
In 2022, I created this large-scale digital artwork as a tribute to Hieronymus Bosch, the internet, and the Crypto summer of 2021. At the start of the process, I visited the Prado in Madrid to see Bosch’s original painting, then spent 4 months illustrating my piece, pixel by pixel. It sold at auction for 17 ETH, based solely on my own promotional efforts on Twitter.

LEXUS
Illustration
In Fall 2022, I illustrated and animated design assets for a short film sponsored by Lexus and Elle as part of  their Women in Hollywood event.

CO-STAR ASTROLOGY
Consulting
In early 2023, I was approached the startup Co-Star Astrology to help fine-tune their AI chatbot oracle, a feature which is now live in the app. The same tech is also used in a photobooth-like machine at Iconic Magazines in NoLIta.

THE BROWSER COMPANY
Animation
In Fall 2022, I created animations for the New York-based startup The Browser Company, featured in a promo video for a new feature of their web browser, Arc.

SPACE CADET VENTURES LLC
Design
In early 2023, I was approached by SpaceCadet Ventures to create assets for their social media, envisioning fictional sci-fi movies based on utopian futures that their portfolio companies would bring about.

Using Midjourney, ChatGPT, and my own design skills, I made 29 “films” that envision these speculative futures.

The project was inspired by my ongoing AI film experiment Fourth Eye Film Archive (more info below)

INTERLACE, INC.
Creative Director
From May 2020 to October 2021, I was the Creative Director at Interlace Inc, a Series A tech startup. I played a major role in shaping the visual design and direction in our products. During my tenure, Interlace went through many phases of product incubation, developing projects ranging from social mobile apps to web3 and NFT experiences.

Here you can see a small selection of work I did at Interlace, including the avatar builder I illustrated, an app intro screen I animated, and a quiz I designed.

FOURTH EYE FILM ARCHIVE DesignSince July 2022, I’ve been creating daily AI-generated movie posters, descriptions, and stills for movies that don’t exist. The project lives on Instagram and Twitter.

DIAMOND HOOK MEDIA
Art Direction
In 2020, I worked as an art director for Diamond Hook Media, primarily with the client Squatty Potty. I art directed the photoshoot for their website redesign and brand overhaul, then went on to storyboard and art direct two video ads.

I also assisted in the art direction of a website redesign for Obviously, an influencer marketing agency.
