Career
NDI, since Jan 2023
Brand & Content Manager
I joined NDI to overhaul what was nothing more than an increasingly popular AV-over-IP protocol. Following a revised business strategy and a rebrand done entirely in-house, NDI is now a standout brand for connectivity in the AV industry that is capturing the attention of prosumers and content creators alike.
Currently, I function as both a creative director developing sub-brands and a content writer, creating and overseeing all written content, from the website to event activations, from case studies to sales enablement decks.
