Twenty-five years directing narrative and creative vision for some of the industry's biggest franchises — now available to studios that need that leadership on a fractional or project basis.
Every studio's gap is different. These are starting shapes, not fixed packages — most engagements get scoped after one conversation.
Embedded creative leadership on a recurring basis — greenlight reviews, narrative direction, and the creative calls a studio needs from the top without carrying a full-time executive.
Focused engagements around a specific problem: a stalled narrative, a pitch that needs sharpening, a creative team that needs direction to ship with confidence.
Hands-on work inside the story itself — world-building, character architecture, and narrative systems design for teams building out a franchise or IP.
A partial roll of where this experience was built.

A short discovery pass on the studio, the team, and where creative direction is actually stuck — not a generic audit.
Fractional, project, or sprint — whichever matches the real gap, with clear cadence and deliverables set up front.
Working directly with leads and leadership, in the reviews and rooms where creative calls actually get made.
Every engagement ends with the team more capable than it started — documentation, frameworks, and know-how that stays after the engagement ends.
Best fit for studios between 10 and 200 people who need senior creative leadership at key moments — greenlight, pitch, or a stalled narrative — but don't need (or can't yet justify) a full-time executive hire.
Engagements are contracted through Nightgram Creative Inc.
Most engagements start with a short call about where creative direction needs help. No pitch deck required.
