I ask Google the right questions... then I build the answers.
At 5 years old, I was in my bedroom writing scripts, poetry, and love songs. Not because anyone told me to — because I had observations I needed to get out of my head. I've been a meticulous observer of people, places, and things since the day I was born.
This obsession has swung me from honors band saxophone, to managing a boy band in LA, to building AI companies in San Francisco. The throughline was never the medium. It was always the need to find new ways to unleash what's inside. Finding new ways to create may be a stronger drug than love, for me at least.
I produce madness.
CliftonStrengths Top 5
A passion for songwriting and engineering systems led to me engineering songs.
In late 2023, I sat in a studio with Matt O'Neill, producer for Travis Scott and Don Toliver, and UM? — an artist and a brother — and learned something no MBA teaches.
Yes... all of these songs are really me. Enjoy :)

From UX consultant to AI platform founder.
AI Business Intelligence platform for founders and operators. Bridge turns fragmented business data into decision-ready insight: the kind of clarity I spent years helping Fortune 500 companies find at Capgemini, now available to founders building on a budget.
AI automation for brick-and-mortar businesses. Where Bridge is intelligence, Morális is execution: automating the operational layer so small business owners can focus on what makes them irreplaceable.
The connective tissue between everything.
Built the bridge between competitive pickup and founder culture in San Francisco. The court is where relationships stop being transactional.
I curate the room before I walk in. Every set is an edit — you're making decisions about energy, arc, and release the whole time.
Translated complexity into clarity for Fortune 500 clients. Learned that the best design is invisible, and the worst never lets you forget it's there.
Why Google?
One could say I was born for it...
The site you're reading was built with AI — not as a trick, but because that's how I think. Prompt, prototype, push. I've always been a visual-narrative obsessive who refuses to let tools be the bottleneck. YouTube needs someone who treats AI as an instrument, not an assistant. That's the only way I've ever used it.
I've held the vision steady on records, software products, and creative operations starting with no playbook, until I wrote my own. The organizational instinct isn't something I developed... it's how I'm wired. I've produced music sessions, shipped a platform, and built audiences from scratch — usually in the same season. Brand-critical work across social, film, and interactive? I've been training for this my whole career. Somewhere in there I learned that the producer is the invisible art form: the person who makes sure the idea survives contact with reality. I've been a producer longer than I've had a title for it.
“The site you're reading right now is the portfolio piece. I didn't submit a PDF. I've been building my case for a position in the Google Creative Fellowship from the ground up, since I was a curious infant.”
