My Story & Experience
Learning through performance
My work began with the experience of becoming a character. What stayed with me was what happened to the people I met: the way they opened up, connected, and found something personal in an encounter with a story.
As a child, I looked to characters for courage and curiosity, and for versions of myself I hadn’t yet learned to name. Years later, working in character entertainment gave me a different understanding of that relationship. I could see people responding in real time. Storytelling became something I learned through encounters, not only through writing or theory.
Beyond the performance
I went on to build a nationwide character entertainment company, creating large-scale, story-driven experiences across communities. Traveling the world full-time then brought me into different cultures, traditions, and ways of life. It changed how I understood the relationship between a story, the place it comes from, and the people who carry it.
Developing my own approach
I built a global school for people in the character entertainment industry, sharing both the craft and the ethics behind the work. By 2025, I began formalizing those lessons into my own methodology. Today, as a Narrative Architect, I create stories around the connection or transformation an experience is intended to inspire. The participant stays themselves. Their own identity, relationships, and life become the point of connection with the story.
