THE HUMAN VARIABLEAn interactive study in human judgment
The machine is only as creative as the world you teach it to see.
I spent 15+ years making and moving creative work across global entertainment. Now I turn that lived judgment into AI products, workflows and experiences.
A changing pattern. A constant human center.

YOUR DIRECTION BRIEF
One idea. A world of context.
A fictional bookshop film: a book opens into a miniature city. A direction study shaped by your inputs.
01 / Craft
Shape a tactile clay world with visible thumbprints, warm practical light and restrained stop-motion.
Review gateMatch the book, character and palette across the opening, midpoint and final frame.
02 / Context
Write market-specific notes for language, props and cultural references. Protect curiosity while inviting local authorship.
Review gateRecord local approval for each market. Unresolved meaning or stereotype concerns hold delivery.
03 / Systems
Prepare 16:9 and 9:16 versions from the approved sequence, with a shared reference pack and a versioned review log.
Review gateCheck every frame for flicker and object drift; verify end-card legibility and crop safety before sign-off.

01 / SELECTED WORKIDEAS, PUT TO WORK.
The thinking. The difference.
A selection of systems, creative work and decisions I’ve helped shape.
AMAZON QUICK · PRIME VIDEO
Make knowledge work harder.
Amazon Quick Ambassador
I developed an LLM-powered assistant for the Prime Video localization team using Amazon Quick. As an Amazon Quick Ambassador, I help colleagues put AI to practical use.
The challenge
Guidance was spread across documents, processes and people. A useful answer needed context, a clear source and an actionable next step.
My contribution
Knowledge architecture, workflow design and team enablement: making production guidance easier to find and use, with human review built into the process.
02 / A POINT OF VIEWTHE HUMAN PART IS THE POINT.
I don’t ask what AI can make. I ask what the work needs.
Technology should expand the work—not erase the people who understand it.
That means defining intent, designing useful systems and keeping people accountable for the decisions that matter.
01 / HUMAN JUDGMENT
Set the intent. Know the audience. Decide which source wins when inputs disagree.
02 / MACHINE CAPABILITY
Find relevant guidance, structure a first draft and surface missing information.
THE DECISIONA producer approves the brief before another team acts on it.
Program records include some of the individual courses listed above.
04 / INDEPENDENT EXPLORATIONSIDEAS TAKING SHAPE
Many disciplines. One curiosity.
A portfolio of independent concepts and prototypes in development. Different questions, connected by a belief that technology should make human ideas more useful.
