I built my career by doing the work — not just talking about it.
For over a decade I worked in the trenches of broadcast television, sports entertainment, and major brand campaigns — designing, animating, and directing content for some of the most recognized names in the world. Nat Geo Wild. ABC. ESPN. Pepsi. Calvin Klein. The New York Stock Exchange. That's not a list I take lightly. Every project on it was earned.
Where It Started
My roots are in motion graphics and animation — Cinema 4D, After Effects, Maya, the full toolkit. I genuinely loved the craft. At ANC Sports Enterprises in New York, I got to work alongside masters in the field, building large-format digital displays and immersive visual experiences for stadiums and high-profile venues including the World Trade Center. Being pushed technically, learning from the best, and delivering under pressure — that environment shaped how I work to this day.
At Nexstar Media Group's CBS 42 in Birmingham, I stepped into a role that carried Art Director responsibilities in everything but the title. I directed show packages, led creative teams during live productions, and ensured brand consistency across broadcast and digital. The person before me had that title. I had the job. And I did it well.
That experience — doing more than your title says, proving yourself through the work — is something I carry into everything I do.

Building WilliamsStudios
WilliamsStudios started as a freelance creative operation — my own studio where I could direct the work I believed in. Over time it grew into something bigger: a full creative consultancy serving clients across broadcast, hospitality, experiential marketing, and brand campaigns.
Now based in Bluffton, SC, I'm growing WilliamsStudios into its next chapter one that combines everything I've learned about creativity, strategy, and communication with the most powerful set of tools I've ever had access to: Artificial Intelligence.
Why AI, and Why Now
I'll be honest — I didn't come to AI as a tech person. I came to it as someone who kept watching good businesses struggle with things that didn't need to be hard. Missed follow-ups. No customer communication. Marketing content that never got done. Scheduling chaos that lived inside one person's phone.
I've personally experienced it as a customer — waiting on a contractor to call back, never getting an update on a job, wondering if the work was even happening. That frustration is fixable. And the tools to fix it exist right now.
So I went deep into AI — studying the major platforms, the automation tools, the chatbot builders, the workflow systems — and I started applying what I learned. The results were clear enough that I knew this had to be part of what WilliamsStudios offers.
I'm not claiming to be a 20-year AI veteran. What I am is someone who understands both the creative and business side, who learns fast, who has sat across from Fortune 500 executives and local small business owners — and who can translate what these tools actually do into language and results that make sense for a real business.
What I Can Do For Your Business
Right now I'm offering free consultations and workshops to local businesses in the Bluffton and Hilton Head area. No hard sell, no jargon — just an honest look at where AI can save you time and money. Here's what that typically looks like:
→ Automated text and email follow-ups so no customer or lead falls through the cracks
→ AI chatbots on your website that answer questions and capture leads around the clock
→ Social media and marketing content generated in minutes, not hours
→ Google review automation that builds your reputation on autopilot
→ Smarter scheduling and workflow tools that take the chaos out of running a crew
→ Hands-on workshops for your team so everyone knows how to use these tools
Creative direction and brand work remain at the core of WilliamsStudios AI consulting is the new layer that makes everything stronger
