Hi, I’m Tony, a multidisciplinary creative shaped by a career that began in advertising and veered into filmmaking.

As a creative director in advertising agencies big, small, and in-between, I led integrated campaigns spanning digital, experiential, content, and social, often working as both the creative lead and an active maker. As a filmmaker, I tell stories driven by character, shaped by humanity and shot with cinematic intention. 

An enemy to the expected and pursuer of the impossible, I’m drawn to the space where strategy and craft intersect. Where insight becomes story. Where concept meets execution. 

Years at agencies and behind the camera give me a multidimensional lens that’s equal parts strategist, storyteller, and maker. I approach each challenge with curiosity and optimism, seeking the answer that feels both unexpected and inevitable. 

There’s nothing I enjoy more than rolling up my sleeves with other kindred navigators of the unfolding now willing to venture outside the box to make the unthinkable a reality.
