Hello there and thanks for visiting.
I'm a New York based creative producer with over two decades of experience producing digital content for the web, mobile, tv and virtual assistant devices. I have produced content at boutique-style production houses as well as in large media operations such as ABC News, Fox and Bloomberg TV. I've helped launch large news websites for CNBC and Al Jazeera America, first on the block apps like The Daily and vanguard "ed-tech" companies like Amplify Learning.
In that time, I've evolved with the accelerated pace of change, from editing video to producing with adaptive technologies supporting media across a spectrum of devices. Alongside talented colleagues, I have won Webby awards and have produced an Emmy-nominated feature for CNBC.com. I have extensive experience publishing from content management systems from Drupal to Adobe Experience Manager to Wordpress and have hands on experience as a front end developer.
In my free time, I have an active interest in design, motion graphics and film photography.

Recommendations
Anita Jennison | Vice President Marketing at Goop.com
"I hired Ollie to redesign our website, not an easy task due to the platform. Ollie delivered a rare combination of creative conceptualization and incredible design. He has an abundance of creativity and the technical skills to execute, that is extremely rare to find. I can't say enough about the quality, the speed and the attention to detail! Highly recommended!"
Adnan Islam | Senior UX/UI Designer at Time Magazine
"I had the pleasure of working with Oliver at The Daily. Oliver is full of life, proactive, well-informed and most importantly so much fun to work with. As a Senior News Producer, he streamlined the daily production. He was very quick to respond to a breaking news and take the necessary steps accordingly. Oliver would be an asset to any digital team."
Stan Yee | Executive Producer APAC, Bloomberg
"Oliver is a very creative and visionary media executive. I worked with him during an intense relaunch campaign of the global CNBC site and--despite long hours and volatile road map--he always maintained a great sense of humor and steady composure. Oliver can be relied on to come up with innovative solutions to production problems and other hurdles. He is a great communicator, working equally well with developers, editorial, design, management staff as well as direct reports and interns. Oliver would be a positive asset for any digital project or campaign."
Paul Alvord | Sr. Mobile Product Designer at FBS, Creators of Flexmls
"Oliver's energy and dedication to his job makes him an extraordinarily valuable asset to the CNBC.com group. Show pages are always in good hands when he get a hold of them and his determination and professionalism seen in his photography are second to none. I'm glad to have Oliver on my team and I speak for the entire group."
Kathleen O'Heron | Owner, Jynx Productions
"Oliver brought some incredibly positive energy to a team that was facing a major upheaval in a very busy newsroom. He joined the News Department at Bloomberg when we were migrating all of our broadcast video assets from an analogue tape based system to a proprietary digital system - this meant that the workflow in every department needed to change. Each day of the format conversion brought it’s own set of challenges, but Oliver’s positive attitude proved invaluable to his team, which helped move the process along. I found Oliver to be a quick learn, a creative spirit and a level headed professional - a unique and valuable combination. When he eventually decides to move his family to Maine, he will have a desk waiting for him at Jynx Productions, LLC!"
Janet Davis | CEO & Executive Chef at JADE Jamaican Grill
"I had the pleasure of working with Oliver during his tenure at Bloomberg Television. Oliver’s knowledge of video and his understanding of broadcast journalism, even then, were impressive. He employed a conscientious approach to not only his work, but that of the B-roll team as well – stepping in on many occasions to assist in the completion of others’ assignment. He brings tremendous energy, creativity and passion to his craft as is evident in his 20+ years in the industry."
