BIG-PICTURE CREATIVITY WITH AN EYE ON DETAILS

Live entertainment is about wonder. It’s about crafting the impossible—then making it feel real, tangible, and unforgettable.


My passion lies in building worlds, sculpting moments of awe, and transporting audiences into stories that stay with them long after the final bow. Whether it’s a residency show that electrifies a resort stage, a high-tech immersive spectacle, or an intimate theatrical experience, I believe in the power of entertainment to ignite emotions, deepen connections, and leave people forever changed.


For over 15 years, I have shaped productions across the globe, seamlessly merging narrative, movement, music, and technology into experiences that defy expectation. I have walked the creative tightrope—balancing bold artistic vision with technical precision, commercial viability with emotional depth. From the pulse of a perfectly timed transition to the hush of an audience hanging on a single moment, I understand how to orchestrate the elements that make a show truly resonate.


Collaboration is at the heart of my creative process. I don’t just direct—I listen, cultivate, and inspire. I find the best ideas in the room and explore them.  I thrive in the creative trenches, where ideas evolve, where artistry meets innovation, where stories come to life through the hands and hearts of the designers, choreographers, and performers.

 

My approach is both intuitive and strategic—grounded in storytelling, yet fluent in the language of production, logistics, and audience engagement. I know how to push the boundaries of entertainment while ensuring every creative choice serves both the art and the business.
