writer, director
It's year 7 of the "Nolan tries freelance" experiment after learning the ropes at SpecialGuest & 1stAveMachine as a lil baby. I'll catch you up:
As a strategist, I’ve developed brand identities and campaigns built to introduce the acronyms IBM, SAP, and TSMC to a broader (*cough* younger) audience. As a writer I've unraveled jargon and “instilled warmth” for Stripe, Mastercard, and Google (daring to inject mirth on occasion). Finally, as a creative director I've crammed children's books inside semiconductors, explained enterprise resource planning with 30 record players, and interviewed Marie Kondo with an AI interpreter before anyone called it AI.
If any of that makes you want to work with me, hit me up here:

I know this is a pretty sub-optimal photo of me (can't see your face bud) but I like it because I'm doing improv with my friend Mikaela (who also works in advertising, so on theme) and because my curls had definition that day.
