STARSCRIPT TEAM

I helped found StarScript in 2017 in order to invent tools that assist creators in producing better books, music, art, film, and other forms of digital media.

Since childhood I have held a great passion for storytelling and bringing an idea to life with the power of imagination. As a self-published author, I hold first hand experience of the challenges that accompany building a collaborative project in entertainment and publishing.

With StarScript, I aspire to use a blend of technology and architecture to establish an ecosystem that helps facilitate both the production and experience of creative works, further enabling the treasured value in storytelling to be realized.
