In Development
Creatives
Interactive Immersive Documentary Series Pilot
Director and Producer | Apple Vision Pro | 2027+
Creatives is an immersive and interactive documentary series exploring artists, their stories, and their processes. From a collage artist reimagining found objects to a dancer pushing the limits of physical expression, or an illustrator inspired by the natural world, each episode invites viewers beyond observation. Through interactive elements, they experiment with the same artistic techniques, crafting their own works within immersive environments. This blend of storytelling and participation bridges the gap between artist and audience, transforming documentary into a collaborative space where inspiration is not only shared but lived.
Sound & Color
Immersive Documentary Series Pilot
Director and Producer | Stereoscopic Immersive | 2026
Sound and Color transforms music into a multi-sensory experience. Blending music and imagery, the series invites audiences to step inside sound itself, experiencing songs as environments they can see, feel, and move through from the minds of musical artists and producers. Sound and Color expands the boundaries of documentary storytelling, offering viewers a rare opportunity to connect with music in a way that is intimate, visceral, and entirely new.
It Happened Here
Immersive Documentary Series Pilot
Director and Producer | Stereoscopic Immersive | 2027+
Explore the powerful relationship between memory and place with It Happened Here. Each episode documents an individual’s recollection, layering their spoken narration with visual re-creations of memory. The debut episode follows a woman revisiting her childhood vacations in Ocean City, New Jersey. Once fractured by a strained family past, she discovers meaning in reclaiming traditions with her own family and forming connections across generations. By intertwining testimony with immersive visuals, It Happened Here allows audiences to see the world as remembered, offering new perspectives on the significance of lived experience.
Past Work
People. Places. Things. App
AR Civic Engagement App
Founder and CEO of PPT Labs Inc. | iOS | 2017 -2021
a civic engagement app that used augmented reality to let users tell the story of their community. Its “Scouting” interface gave a real-time view of what was happening nearby, while AR tools empowered users to inform, add character to the everyday, and share stories that otherwise couldn’t be told. Released on the Apple App Store for iOS, the app blended technology with civic storytelling to make the invisible visible.
Narratives
MR Storytelling App
Principle Investigator | iOS | 2014 -2017
A geolocative storytelling app where walking in different directions revealed new video sequences. The narrative encouraged users to change direction to uncover more of the story, creating a feedback loop in which the user shaped the narrative, and the narrative shaped the user’s path.
Narratives received the top prize at the ACM MobileHCI Conference, judged by experts from Google, Twitter, and Samsung.
A Cloud’s Dream
Spatial Animated Short Film
Director, Producer and Animator | Stereoscopic 3D | 2012
An experimental narrative using particle system and audio waveform data to animated stereoscopic visuals of sound. A Cloud’s Dream was created with the National Film Board’s 14th Hot House series. Registered through the Directors Guild of Canada.
