With 20+ years of experience in creative media, podcast production, and automotive quality, I’ve spent my career building impactful narratives through sound, design, and story. Now, I’m blending that creative legacy with advanced AI automation and prompt engineering skills certified by Vanderbilt University.
As a proud African American creative innovator, I understand the power of technology not just to scale business—but to uplift voices that have historically been unheard. I specialize in AI-driven storytelling, visual branding, and data-enhanced strategies that bring authenticity, efficiency, and cultural intelligence to every project.
Whether launching a podcast series, automating workflows with GPT-4, or creating designs that speak across cultures, I bring both vision and execution to the table. My mission: help organizations create smarter, more inclusive, and more impactful digital experiences.
✅ Let’s collaborate to bring your message to life—with tech that listens as much as it speaks.
