Work
Live radio and TV broadcasts, podcasts, digital video series, and AI-powered creative tools. I’ve made a lot of things — here’s the full list.
Adobe
Premiere Pro Audio & Enhance Speech
Led audio product development for Adobe Premiere Pro (2022–2025), the industry-leading video editing software — AI audio tools now used by more than 3 million creators. Collaborated with cross-functional teams of engineers and audio researchers on a three-year roadmap grounded in user insights, industry trends, and customer feedback. Managed the launch of the "Enhance Speech" AI audio tool — now one of Premiere Pro’s most popular features and recipient of the "Best of Show" award at the 2024 National Association of Broadcasters convention — and contributed to early work on AI music generation. Led AI audio, retention, and accessibility for Premiere Pro, and oversaw Adobe Audition.
Adobe Podcast
Adobe’s web-based, AI-powered audio editing tool lets creators focus on storytelling instead of technical complexity. I developed audio content templates that help users overcome the "blank canvas" challenge, and drew on my own production experience to guide the team’s understanding of user needs — making the tool intuitive for creators at all levels.
