After graduating from UCLA with an individualized degree in Storytelling, I created my own company, Storybound, to do project-based contract work in story development. Through my education and my work since, I have had an exclusive focus on storytelling and have crafted an entirely unique, interdisciplinary, and never-ending life study of story and its many forms and expressions the world over.
I collect outstanding stories and storytellers alongside my work and travels catalogue them in my quarterly company magazine all about storytelling. In Storybound Magazine and my contract projects I distill rich information into its fundamental essence to express the story at hand.
Whether creating backgrounds for a 3D music video, editing scripts, creating pitch books for Hollywood, designing shows from scratch, running large events, shadowing lawyers, restructuring books, traveling, writing, dreaming up the perfect Nursing Home, or illustrating children's books — every story has a core message to tell, and all my work stems from collaborating with storytellers to reveal that message to our greatest abilities.

Created my own major around storytelling across several different media. Each course was from a different department — from ancient architecture to classic mythology, to early Swedish cinema to Pink Floyd’s albums, I studied storytelling as it’s found in many disciplines, and gathered the universal truths present throughout them all.
