SMARTART | Bespoke Business Strategy for Creative Companies
I am an unconventional thinker that uses creativity to solve business problems.
I’m a strategist & filmmaker with big curiosity. I started my career as the writer, director, and producer for the feature film A Good Dream (2018). Through my experience as a filmmaker, I became interested in the question: How can art be monetized? My curiosity led me down the path of pursuing an M.B.A and ultimately to doing what I love: helping creative companies solve business problems.
