Skills & Tools

Adobe Creative Cloud

The kind of motion graphics that win NY Emmys get built here — After Effects for animation, Premiere Pro for delivery, Illustrator and Photoshop for everything in between. Three PBS series worth of broadcast-ready work says more than a tool list.

Generative AI

I've built a working method for AI-assisted music and lyrics that produces real, usable output — not generic noise. The same structured approach applies across image generation, copy, and workflow automation. Tools include Adobe Firefly, Suno, ChatGPT, and Cursor AI.

Web & Production

Built broadcast websites for PBS and NPR when the tools were primitive and the stakes were high. That history means responsive layouts, semantic HTML, and GTM tracking aren't checkboxes — they're second nature.
