Story first
Have a strategy and a brand book? Everything builds on them. Starting fresh? We work it out together: research first, then strategy, then what you say and how it looks.
I build and run the system behind everything your company shows the world. Handmade where craft matters, AI where it makes sense. People still make every call, now faster and with fewer mistakes.
Debrief is a small web tool I built to show how a news article is built: what’s established, what’s only claimed, what the framing is doing, who benefits, and what’s left out. Here’s how I designed it, and how my agents built the graphics for this video.
Your strategy, your brand book, the standards you already work with. I build one system on top of them, so the site, the films and the tools all look and sound like you.

Brand films, documentaries and broadcast-quality motion graphics, built in After Effects as editable files and cut for every screen.
Websites, pitch decks, storyboards and AI tools for your business, held to the same standard as the films.
A bespoke system of AI agents, built around how your team works and the tools it already uses.
Yours to keepAnd if your business needs a tool nobody sells, I can build that too.
Human craft, AI speed
I care about craft, and I still make things by hand. When AI is the better tool, I build it in properly and hold it to the same standard as everything else. The story, the take, the final cut: those calls stay human.
What you get
The page, the film and your campaigns arrive together and say the same thing, because they're built on the same foundation.
What used to take weeks now takes days. The time that comes back goes into the work: more versions, more formats, one more pass.
It lives inside the tools your team uses and gets written down as it's built. You own it. I run it and keep it current.

A decade of campaigns and brand films for North American Fortune 500 brands. It's also where I built and tested my AI workflows, on real client jobs.
A decade of commercials and brand films for North American Fortune 500 brands with The Film Lab, a Toronto agency: retail at national scale, plus food, music, tech and most genres in between. Big budgets, national audiences, no second take on launch day.
It's also where I built my AI workflows, job by job, on real client work: a story builder that turns raw interviews into the base story, pitch pages and storyboards made the same day in the client's look, motion-graphics packages built natively in After Effects, and every social format cut from one recipe.
Every one of them held to the same standard as the films.
A live AI tool for reading the news, built end to end: the product, its website, its film and its launch.
Debrief is the whole system on one brand, built by me: the idea, the product, the website and its design, the AI analysis behind it, the film, the posts that launched it and a weekly report.

Paste a news article and it separates what is established from what is only claimed, shows what the framing is doing, says who benefits and names what is missing. No verdicts: the reader keeps the judgement. Free, and live at debrief.digital.
It grew out of my 2010 thesis on disinformation: how a message gets shaped before it ever reaches you.
One person, one system. The same way I'd build for your brand.
A 30-second AI film, script to sound, made to test whether a full pipeline can hold a professional bar.
A self-initiated film, made to answer a production question I kept running into: can a full pipeline (script, previs, shots, edit, sound) run on an AI stack and still hold a professional bar?
Thirty seconds, written, directed, produced and cut end to end. The subject was hard on purpose: radar satellites reading the planet through cloud and darkness, a capability nobody can photograph. One clear idea, told with restraint.
What it proves is method: the calls a live-action job needs (what the film is about, what stays, what gets cut), made with tools that move faster than a crew.
AI where it makes sense, held to the same bar as everything else.
Flagship documentary films for institutional fundraising, built from executive interviews and market data.
Institutional investors commit capital on conviction. The job: make a complex, long-horizon strategy credible on screen, for an audience that walks out on anything that oversells.
I developed and produced the flagship films at the centre of these fundraising campaigns: documentary-style, built from executive interviews, market data and industry insight, and cut into something a sophisticated audience would sit through. Each one ran alongside a dedicated site, white papers, webinars and investor communications.
It's the kind of work my story builder is made for today: hours of interviews become a transcript, selects and a base story before the first cut, and every chart and title gets built in After Effects in the client's look.
Long-form, interview-led, high-stakes: the format where the edit earns belief or loses it.
Creative direction for a people-and-technology consultancy: the films, and the motion system behind them.
Folkuslab helps organisations through the moments where people and technology meet: AI adoption, leadership, structural change. I'm the creative director.
I make the films and content that carry the work: leadership moments, culture programmes, product films, and internal films for people who have heard every version of this before.
Behind them sits a motion-graphics system: a library of reusable beats in one design language, written down once, so any AI tool the team uses picks it up without a briefing.
One design language, every film: the system at work inside a small team.

Most of my work sits under NDA. What's here is a representative selection, and the full reel is available on request.
For a decade, I was in Toronto making campaigns and brand films for Fortune 500 clients: national launches where there's no second take on the day.
Retail, food, music, tech. Then I started building for The Film Lab, after years of editing there. First AI inside Premiere Pro and After Effects, then the pitch pages, the storyboards and the tools around the films. Then Debrief, a live AI product: I built the website, the analysis behind it and the design.
I make the same calls I made in Toronto, just faster. Today, most teams can generate far more than they have the taste to direct. That's where I'm most useful.
Before Toronto, I studied international relations and wrote a thesis on disinformation. Different craft, same question: how do you earn belief when something real is at stake?
I'm looking for a senior creative seat, or a first project to start, with a company that wants everything it shows the world to look and sound like one brand. Someone to build the system, run it, and still know a good cut when they see one.
