"As an Emmy Award-winning creative visionary, I've founded three innovative companies: Prologue, Prologue Immersive, and Spatialand. Our work spans across entertainment and technology, seamlessly blending the unreal with the real. We've collaborated with industry giants like Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Marvel, Disney, and Walmart, showcasing our versatility and impact.

At Prologue, now celebrating 20 years of excellence, we pride ourselves on being creative collaborators, innovative problem solvers, and visionary pioneers. United by a passion for pushing the boundaries of visual narrative, we excel in VFX, title design, and immersive storytelling. Our award-winning partnerships with Hollywood agencies, brands, and media have earned us global recognition and distinction within our industry. The essence of our design aesthetic lies in empowering clients to connect with their audiences in the most meaningful way possible.

Spatialand was born from the inspiration I gained from our very own team at Prologue that worked on the VFX interfaces for Ironman. This experience of bringing cinematic visuals to life fueled my vision to use virtual reality in creating experiences that transcend traditional film. Spatialand, a venture that stood out in the VR industry and was notably led by a woman, was a manifestation of this vision. In 2018, it was acquired by Walmart’s Store No. 8, a division focused on emergent technologies like AR and VR, marking a significant milestone in our journey of innovation.

With INTERVRSE, we have continued to innovate, bringing immersive experiences to the education and medical sectors. Initiatives like the Viterbi Verse, developed in partnership with USC, and Medi-Scene for Medtronic, demonstrate our commitment to connecting professionals globally for ongoing training and collaboration.

On a personal note, I am deeply engaged in AI research, and particularly excited about the possibilities with generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs). The transformative potential of AI in interaction and narrative forms is a thrilling frontier that I am actively exploring.
