VIDEO EDITING

In a past life, I worked in media, technology, and the networked arts and humanities. I was the founding Head of Video at Timeline, a co-creator of GoPop (acquired by BuzzFeed), and an Editor/Producer at Zeega. My storytelling projects prefigured the rise of interactive, mobile, social storytelling (e.g., TikTok and the Stories format), and have been exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and featured as examples of storytelling innovation in journalism at events at the Tribeca Film Institute, Harvard University, SXSW, and more. Sadly, most of them no longer exist, but you can find a few below.
