Experience

1. Creative Producer Director

   Ronin Productions

   Jan 2015 — Present · San Francisco, CA, US

   Direct and oversee video strategy, creative development, and full‑lifecycle production for productlaunches, brand campaigns, and technology storytelling initiatives.I love bringing stories to life through video. Over the past decade, I’ve helped create 150+ videos—from global campaigns and product launches to executive storytelling and integrated content programs. I build and grow production teams (anywhere from 5 to 40+ people) across studio and multi-location shoots, making sure we hit high-quality standards while keeping things running smoothly.I manage six-figure budgets, shaping creative strategy to meet real business goals, and I’ve worked across SaaS, fintech, healthcare, and AI to create storytelling frameworks that really connect with audiences. Partnering with Marketing, Product, Brand, and Communications teams is one of my favorite parts—there’s nothing better than seeing a unified story come to life across channels.I’m hands-on when needed, jumping in as Director or DP to keep creative vision strong, and I thrive under tight deadlines and shifting priorities. Building long-term relationships with clients and vendors has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m always excited to develop strategies that drive adoption, engagement, and real impact.
