AI Consultant
I help studios, agencies, and brands build serious AI-native and AI-hybrid film and video production — bridging studio-grade craft with generative pipelines.
I work with studios, agencies, and brands building serious AI-native and AI-hybrid film and video pipelines — from one-off engagements to embedded production leadership. Most engagements blend strategy with hands-on workflow build-out.
I spent roughly ten years in-house at Marvel Studios before leading AI production end-to-end as SVP, Head of Production at Kartel AI — managing enterprise accounts, authoring the SOPs that ran every engagement, and developing tiered model strategies across a wide range of image and video tools. Consulting brings that same editor-grade rigor to your AI-native and AI-hybrid production.

Model strategy
Tiered model selection across a wide range of image and video tools. Cost / quality / time benchmarks for the work you actually ship.

Production SOPs & ops
Authoring the playbook that runs every engagement — scoping, contracts, hand-off, QC, and delivery.
