Outreach and Cutural Diplomacy

Outreach and Cutural Diplomacy

As a diplomatic guest of the US Consulate in Johannesburg, South Africa, I was a guest speaker to arts and sciences students at the Mae Jemison Science Lab in Pretoria, thesis mentor to a group of students from The Big Fish School of Digital Filmmaking, formulated a syllabus with a design professor in Pretoria, and consulted on a social media and youth strategy with the US Embassy in Pretoria. While there, invited to attend The Swaziland Reed Dance Ceremony, NBA's Basketball Without Borders, and a performance of trumpeter and anti-apartheid activist, Hugh Masekela, with Ambassador Earl Miller. In South America, spoke to student arts programs in Uruguay and Argentina. In the Patagonian region, hiked the famous Torres Del Paine and the Laguna de Los Tres. Guest at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland for a tour of ATLAS and as a guest on one of their global google hangouts titled: Mouse Smashes Mammoth with physicist, Steven Goldfarb and theorist, Carlos Salgado. This visit gave way to a partnership that resulted in a series of talks and collaborations across disney's R&D teams and the CERN public outreach team.

I was invited to be a film-industry mentor for student productions at the Ghetto Film School, Los Angeles. I was invited back a second year to mentor students' viral promotional video productions for Outcast, a new tv series by Robert Kirkman. At Walt Disney Animation Studios, presented an overview on ESPN's identity, culture, and programming and co-produced two associated daylong series of presentations and discussions with heads of the studio for future collaboration. Invited to be a guest critic at the Rhode Island School of Design and was a studio presenter and leader for the ESPN-sponsored studio class deconstructing the concept of fandom. Creative and front-end development lab mentor at an EspnW-sponsored Hack Day for Women Who Code at the Stanford d.school. Organized and hosted a webcast of the first TED Women conference: Reshaping the Future for our Bristol campus and was an invited guest to the inaugural TEDxYale: A Twist of Fate. Volunteered creative and experiential direction for several nonprofits, including Boston's Disaster Accountability Project.

Film and Entertainment

Film and Entertainment

As the Interactive Director at Starz and Lionsgate+, I was on the creative leadership team, the Lionsgate's Women's Empowerment Board, and a Television Academy member. Some responsibilities included: building an inclusive, inspiring work environment, developing groundbreaking work across OTT, platform, digital, social, and creative marketing, and putting a strategy in place for the future of interactive design and the organization as emerging technologies influence the future of content.

Prior, I curated and programmed the inaugural Best of Disney event at Walt Disney Studios, which showcased multiple exhibitions and panels on the best innovations across Disney. This event was spawned from the Emerging Technology Community that I created while at ESPN, and similarly included participants from Walt Disney Studios, ESPN, ABC, Animation Studios, Pixar, Lucas Film, ILM, Marvel, Parks and Resorts, Disney Interactive, Imagineering, Disney Research, Technology Services, as educational and outreach partners, such as the Animation Research Library's preservation partnership with The Getty.

I also consulted as a Creative Producer of Product Development for the Walt Disney Studios' Distribution Technology Strategy & Innovation R&D group focused on the future of film experience, distribution, and content security. In addition to playing with emerging technologies like Oculus, Leap Motion, D-Box Chairs, Line, Adventr, JauntVR, Mayo Clinic Auditory, Dolby Atmos, and Imagineering partners, we partnered with Sony Pictures on an automatic recognition metadata software to be shared across studios. Coordinated the video content from all Disney studios and assisted the lead video systems engineer in post optimization and metadata logs for interactivity for DisneyMoviesAnywhere.com.

As a special project and mentorship, I partnered with Walt Disney Imagineering connected experiences group in the creation of ActivateD: an in-park sport, play, and fitness game concepts for individuals, groups, and families that utilized game theory, emerging technology, and character development. One proposal was an interactive virtual world in which you could play a sport with your favorite holographic Disney character: Play basketball with Goofy!

Big Tech and Startups

Big Tech and Startups

The cultural convergence of calculated, multidimensional narratives and emergent technologies can inspire magical, humanizing, and calm distortions of our current realities: Consulted and advised several startups and studios innovating with emerging interfaces and multimedias, creative and technical development for interactive content, OTT/VOD services, augmented and virtual realities, virtual productions, IoT, etc.

As a Creative Director at Amazon, stood up the first design organization dedicated to Alexa's Operating System and Core Services. Strived to foster an elite creative environment by leading thought grounded in futurism and creative transformation. A few highlighted ships: Alexa Voice Profiles, the domestic and global experiences of implicit and explicit voice recognition, shipping notifications, proactive notifications, Presence Service NorthStar, Alexa to Cortana (AI to AI) experience, Alexa identity services for Business and Hospitality, adaptive prompting, Germany's Bundesliga live game audio-stream on Alexa, and personalized News Flash Briefings. Participated in a Girls Who Code! working lab at Amazon Day 1 in Seattle as an Alexa design mentor.

As a Creative Director at Microsoft, co-led a global HoloLens creative strategy with a fellow Creative Director for this new interactive paradigm and kept a keen focus on deep versus shallow experiences by challenging the approach and strategy of design. Drove business transformation for premier enterprise clients by clarifying their vision and designing the creative and user foundations for augmented reality, such as the Holostruction partnership with Japanese construction company, Oyanagi, with time abroad in Niigata, Japan.

Sports and Mass Media

Sports and Mass Media

I was an award-winning Art Director at ESPN for digital editorial, investigative journalism, original programming (TV Integration, ESPN Original Films, Webisodes, and Video), emerging technology, sitewide design production, branded experiences, and advanced multimedia products (polling, live voting, chat applications, feature video players, photo galleries, interactive timelines and video, and new fan networking/participation technologies). Led digital experiences for the ESPN ecosystem, such as NFL and Super Bowl packages, NBA and March Madness interactive brackets, The ESPYS, ESPN Films, 30 for 30, X Games, ESPN e-tickets, Outside the Lines, E:60, ESPNW, Mayne Street, Monday Night Football, EA Madden Cover Vote, College Gameday, SportsNation, Olympic Sports, and more.

I provided creative direction and built digital offerings - such as the website with OTT/VOD player - for the award-winning 30 for 30 documentary series: Volumes 1-3 as well as the launch of the first Shorts. Branded, scripted, directed, and produced extended comedy sketch vignettes for Mayne Street. Produced a 4-part documentary series for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games on coach James Li's journey back home since his departure during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Built the first wide-screen video player for and debuted on ESPN.com's Emmy award-winning editorial The Real Frozen Tundra. Created the first interactive video experiences for College Gameday and Mayne Street and directed on-location green-screen sets for both College Gameday talent: Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Lee Corso, Chris Fowler; and Mayne Street ensemble cast: Kenny Mayne, Alison Becker, Jon Glaser, Christopher Smith, Jordan Carlos, Aubrey Plaza. To ESPN's Broadcast Technology organization, presented the idea of a scalable holographic sports broadcast (hand-held, table-top, life-sized) augmented reality product, displaying a live virtual game, with interactive interface, and wearable spatial signaling on live athletes.

Soon, I created and led the Disney Emerging Technology Community, which partnered all the Disney creative, R&D, consumer, and production technology teams to help foster synergistic and collaborative opportunities, reduce redundant creative technology research, and increase cost-sharing. Member of the design leadership team during several reorganizations and the implementation of four redesigns of ESPN.com, including the introduction of mobile and responsive evolutions. As a two-year member of the ESPN Executive Content Diversity Council, reviewed and strategized the company's progress of including diverse content.

When sports betting was legalized, I got to pitch shows and content socializing, generalizing and gamifying sports betting culture for Bleacher Report's 2019 fall productions: mini-games, ensemble sketch comedies, documentaries, and satires to be produced in their new Las Vegas B/R studio on the Caesars Palace Sportsbook floor.

Aeronautics and Engineering

Aeronautics and Engineering

At Lockheed Martin, I was both a Multimedia Art Director for Integrated Systems & Solutions (IS&S) and a Multimedia Design Engineer for Aeronautics’ Skunk Works. These offered experience in thriving, think-tank environments where 3D product innovation, script/storyboard development, interactivity, special effects, rendering techniques, experimental video production, virtual worlds, exhibit design, business, design, and science all merged.

I drove innovation as lead designer and developer of the Advanced Development Program's Visual Product Model application, which was a library of existing and conceptual 3D-interactive aircrafts, for use at trade shows, capture meetings, and other business development initiatives. Led the experiential design and production at industry exhibits, such as at AUVSI and Shepard’s Airshow, by integrating 3D applications, video, artwork, and interactive projections to immerse visitors in the Skunk Works universe. Directed and cast voice talent for 3D characters, coordinated shoots, and built a live 3D-virtual newsroom for IS&S Communications. Exposed to and participated in larger connective experiences, such as a unique partnership with Google utilizing Lockheed Martin's integrated systems and solutions for the first Google Maps.
