Twenty years in commercial video and brand production. Currently leading video production at Vonage — a role I built from the ground up over the past decade. Series credits include Whipnotic and YourLA (NBC), Player Style Files and Tailgate Fan: College Edition (CBS). Member of the Producers Guild of America (PGA).
Starting Frame is the production suite I wished existed when I was running shows — and my proof of work building one. The whole pipeline in a browser tab: free creative tools to make the graphics — stream scenes, kinetic text, transparent exports — and paid tools to run the show, a teleprompter and a live run-of-show with real-time crew views. Designed and shipped solo. The creative side is genuinely free: no watermark, just a quick sign-in — you pay when your stream becomes a show. A working product with real users, not a slide. The right tool should take seconds, not a full software launch.
Most organizations treat video as a production problem. It is a strategy problem. The difference between footage and communication is rarely about the camera.
Start before you're ready. That's the whole thing.
Make something. Start now.
Work, tools, and thinking from someone who ships before ready.
