“Unofficial” OpenAI Application

Written by a human. Inspired by a machine. Built for a future that needs both.


This is not a resume. It’s a creative act of optimism.

Because I don’t want to just work at OpenAI—I want to help shape how the world experiences what you’re building.
Not as code. As culture.

This page is my attempt to show—not tell—what I bring to the table: curiosity, strategy, storytelling, and the ability to turn complexity into connection.

When you’re ready, let’s talk. Shoot me a note HERE.

  • Because OpenAI isn’t a company. It’s a cultural shift.

    You’re not just building artificial intelligence—you’re teaching the world how to relate to it. That requires more than engineers and researchers. It takes storytellers, architects of experience, and brand stewards who can translate new technologies into human moments.

    I didn’t want to apply to OpenAI. I wanted to start a conversation with it.

  • I’m looking to join the team responsible for designing experiences and events that help people connect with OpenAI—emotionally, intellectually, and culturally.

    Whether that’s leading programs or collaborating cross-functionally, I bring decades of experience translating complex ideas into meaningful, human moments.

    My goal? Help people feel the future—and remember who brought them there.

  • You’ll get someone who thinks like a marketer, plans like a producer, and dreams like a novelist.

    Someone who’s obsessed with crafting moments that:

    • Build trust with new technologies

    • Reflect your values in every detail

    • Create emotional velocity (the kind that moves people, not just messages)

    You’ve already changed the way the world works. I want to help you change the way it feels.

  • The kind that make people feel the future.

    Of course, there may be conferences, partner meetings, and thoughtful panels. But what excites me most are the moments that live at the intersection of technology, emotion, and story—events that shift understanding, not just share information.

    Imagine:

    • The launch of a new model experienced as a multi-sensory invitation to possibility

    • A series of GPT-powered salons exploring ethics, creativity, and cognition

    • An installation or live demo that doesn’t just explain a capability—it reframes what intelligence means

    These aren't “one-size-fits-all” events. They’re opportunities to explore new formats and create experiences that live on in memory and conversation. That’s where I love to work.

  • Because the questions are getting bigger, and the stakes are getting weirder.

    People are wondering what it means to write, think, work—even exist—in an AI-infused world. And every time you launch a new model, feature, or vision, it’s not just a technical moment. It’s a cultural one.

    This is the moment to bring in more voices who understand how to build bridges, not just products.

  • Range. And resonance.

    I can think at the brand level and execute at the clipboard level. I’ve worked with billion-dollar companies and tiny teams of two. I can move from “big idea” to “who’s printing the name tags” without losing the thread—or the point.

    I bring a creative, collaborative mindset. A deep love of tech and story. And a steady hand when the pressure’s high and the stakes are weird.

  • I’m a marketing leader, brand strategist, and experience designer with a deep background in live events, creative campaigns, and cultural storytelling.

    I've launched startups, scaled brands, and led global programs—from the Clio Awards to Cannes Lions. I’ve worked inside tech companies and alongside artists, coders, and community builders.

    But more than anything, I’m someone who loves crafting moments that resonate—the kind of moments that make people stop scrolling, lean in, and say “wait… this matters.”

  • Great experiences aren’t about information—they’re about impact.

    The best ones leave a mark: they surprise, delight, and reflect culture—whether that’s the culture of the company, the moment, or the place.

    When people talk about an event years later, it’s not because of the content—it’s because something real happened. That’s what I aim to create.

  • By remembering the human part.

    I read every day. I meditate. I walk on the beach with my dog. I stay curious about people and culture and ideas outside the tech bubble.

    I think that’s the real skill now: staying clear enough to make meaning while the future arrives at full speed.

  • Honestly? Thinking through problems—with momentum.

    AI has become my go-to creative partner when I need to untangle something complex, test a new idea, or explore different angles—quickly. It’s like having a team of smart, slightly chaotic collaborators on standby. The kind that throw out five bad ideas and one brilliant one. And they never sleep.

    It reminds me of something my friends and I call “hot tub lifescaping”—late-night, drink-in-hand brainstorming sessions where problems get deconstructed and rebuilt with humor, heart, and usually one surprisingly great idea.

    AI doesn’t replace those moments. But it’s eerily close. It’s lifescaping at warp speed—with better spelling.

    And at the end of the day, it’s still on me to decide what matters. But AI helps me get there faster, with more iterations, and fewer excuses.

  • It’s not just packed auditoriums or slick sizzle reels—though those are fun.

    Success is when an experience:

    • Makes people feel something new

    • Shifts perception in an honest way

    • Becomes part of how someone remembers your brand

    When something you helped create gets talked about months—or years—later, not because it was flashy, but because it stuck… that’s when you know it mattered.

  • Collaborative. Curious. Creative, without being precious.

    I’m the type who sketches ideas on napkins and makes sure the name tags show up. I’ve worked across disciplines and hierarchies, always aiming to make great work easier—and more meaningful—for everyone involved.

  • That the best experiences aren’t the ones where everything goes perfectly—they’re the ones where something real happens.

    A moment of surprise. A shift in perspective. A conversation that wouldn't have happened otherwise. Those are the things people carry with them. That’s what I try to make room for.

Where do we go from here?

Thanks for reading this far.
If something in here resonated—if you saw a little of your mission reflected in my voice—I’d love to talk.

I’m not looking for a title. I’m looking for a way to help shape experiences that move people and make meaning in this new AI-infused era.

And I’d love to do that with you.
