Systems Thinker.
Production Architect.
From Architecture to AAA Production Orchestration.
I'm executive consultant and cross-cultural production strategist. I build and stabilize distributed production systems that perform under real-world pressure: across time zones, disciplines, and organizational structures.
My path started in architecture — leading national-level projects — before evolving into orchestrating international teams across media and AAA game development.
Today I work at the intersection of systems thinking, cross-cultural leadership, and production execution, helping organizations build infrastructures that don't just scale — they hold.

Mission
Rebuilding the US External Development Market. From the Inside.
The AAA production landscape is fragmented — built on intermediary layers that create opacity, reduce trust, and extract value from the studios where creative work actually happens.
My mission is to change that. I work to establish direct institutional dialogue between American IP holders and independent US studios — removing broker dependency, reducing friction, and building production systems mature enough to survive pressure and change.
I don't just optimize workflows. I mobilize ecosystems.
My goal is not just efficiency — it's institutional maturity. Systems that survive pressure, change, and fragmentation.

Institutionalizing a Senior - Only Model SWAME Art Studio — Setting the Industry Barometer.
When I founded SWAME Art Studio, I made a deliberate decision that ran counter to industry norms: build for institutional continuity, not volume. No junior tier. No broker layer. No inflated estimates.
Over six years, that decision became a model — and the model became a standard others benchmark against.
