## Summary

I am a high-output Creative Manager and the founder of Verde House Productions, bringing a decade of experience in end-to-end content creation and growth marketing. I specialize in building campaigns that don't just look good—they sell. With over 15 million views across my independent projects, I understand how to capture attention in a crowded digital landscape. My background is a unique blend of technical engineering skills and creative direction, allowing me to bridge the gap between product development and market-facing storytelling. 

Recently, I led marketing for The Underground Journal, where I scaled submissions by 507% through aggressive multi-channel launches. I also demonstrated my ability to build and pitch under pressure by winning 1st place at HackLanta 2026 for LinkedOut, an AI-powered parody app I developed and marketed in just 12 hours. Whether I am directing a boiler-room style event for Verde House or architecting agentic AI workflows to streamline content production, I focus on scale and speed. I am fluent in the tools of the trade—from Adobe Creative Suite and Python to AWS and prompt engineering—and I am looking to bring this multidisciplinary edge to a fast-moving tech startup where I can drive product growth and brand authority.
