Storytelling in Motion.
I love crafting stories from the ground up. For each of these projects, I led the creative direction from concept to final cut. I wrote scripts, designed interview arcs, mapped the emotional framework, and sat in the room asking the questions that pulled real stories to the surface. My goal is always the same: to make work that feels human, intentional, and true to the people and communities at its center.
The Moment Is Now: 40 Years of Chicago Foundation for Women
Creative Director, Writer, Interviewer
This short film anchors Chicago Foundation for Women’s 40th anniversary campaign in the lived experiences of founders, grantee partners, and community leaders. I developed the core narrative arc, wrote the script and interview questions, and shaped the visual framework to weave together archival footage, present-day interviews, and movement moments. The story connects four decades of feminist philanthropy to the urgent realities facing women and gender expansive people today, inviting viewers to see themselves as part of what comes next.
Legacy in Action: 2025 Impact Award Video
Creative Director, Scriptwriter, Interview Designer
Created for Chicago Foundation for Women’s 2025 Impact Awards, Legacy in Action spotlights the honorees whose leadership is reshaping what equity looks like in Chicago. I developed the story arc, wrote the script, and designed each interview to illuminate not just accomplishments, but the heart, history, and lived experience behind the work. Through thoughtful framing, narrative pacing, and intentional question design, the film weaves together personal testimony, movement context, and community vision.
