For me museums have always seemed like a safe place, one where I could go to explore, dream and learn how to see the world from new perspectives. I’ve always wanted to share my enthusiasm and give everyone the opportunity to have similar experiences.

My first consulting gig at a museum in the ‘90s was an opportunity use video to tell stories that brought aspects of the exhibition to life as only video could. Those short programs were vital to helping visitors fully understand the purpose of a ground-breaking social history exhibition.

Since then, my focus has been on creating narrative, interactive and immersive experiences, with a wide range of technologies, that add meaning to art, history and science exhibitions and make it easier for visitors to appreciate the stories museums are well equipped to present.

Many of the same techniques work for other clients too, and we welcome the chance to continue working with educational institutions, foundations, urban planners, government agencies and other groups devoted to enhancing the public good and/or improving people’s lives.

When I was a kid it was beautiful paintings by Breughel, Kandinsky, Homer and Sargent that kept me coming back to The Metropolitan Museum of Art to stare until I lost myself in their worlds. The American Museum of Natural History was another favorite place to go to see animals in their natural habitats in the amazing dioramas.

Before starting my own firm, my career was in the art world, working for ArtForum Magazine, for print publisher Crown Point Press in San Francisco, for New York based corporate art consultants Viart, and heading up a nonprofit organization based at WNET-TV devoted to supporting film and video artists.

I’m a graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses accelerator course. I’m honored to be Co-Chair of the Media Technology & Design Commission with the NYC Department of Education Career & Technical Education Commissions, serving over 30,000 students in 40 schools. It’s also been a pleasure to be a mentor in the Museum Computer Network program, and a member of the Program Committee for MW2020 and 2021 annual conferences.

As a company principal, and a freelance producer, I have over 25 years of experience producing documentaries, commercials and music videos.

I’ve learned how to use the language of film to tell engaging stories tailored to specific audiences. I’ve gained a deep understanding of production and post-production technologies, and so I’m able to grasp quickly what a client expects to achieve from a production.

My career was influenced by producing music videos for The Talking Heads, Television and other bands at the now legendary club, CBGBs, way ahead of MTV. I’ve also had the privilege of working with directors such as Peter Sellars, Jim Jarmusch, Lindsay Anderson, Michael Apted and Sam Peckinpah on a variety of music documentaries.

As a partner in MICA TV in the 1980s I produced a series of short video art portraits of the artists Cindy Sherman, Richard Prince, Laurie Simmons and others. These have been shown on the BBC and Channel Four, as well as in museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of and The Whitney Museum.
