I help startups build teams, establish production workflows, and develop games and animation. At Tinker Studio, I also help teams adopt AI across operations and creative work.

Stage 01 · Studio leadership
For six years, I’ve managed Tinker Studio and supported its teams across games, immersive experiences, installations, and creative tools. The projects below are the work of the Tinker Studio team.
Operations highlight
I helped Tinker Studio adopt AI across operations, content creation, and game development. I used AI to help build internal team tools with the goal of lowering software costs, and made it part of how I coordinate hiring and organize studio workflows.
After adopting AI, we increased content output to 100 videos a week. We can now prototype and release small, complete Roblox games in 1.5 weeks.
