ABOUT

Hi, I'm Todd. I design media, build learning experiences, edit video, produce music, and tell stories. I work across design, content, and technology, and I'm constantly experimenting with AI to push my creative workflows further.

My Passions

I make Hip-Hop, loft beats, and soul collaborations under the producer persona Big La vs. Todd.

Semi-retired, but still spin Hip-Hop, lofi, and Soul mixes, like I've been doing for over 2 decades.

I've been Sci-Fi and horror worldbuilding since I was a kid. Currently work on my first novel.

I love movies, tv, music, comics, and more. So I collect the ones I love. I must collect them all!!

Growing up I made mixtapes. Now I curate streaming playlists by artist, producer, genre and them.

I dabble in design and development, blending creative tools with AI-assisted techniques.

Creative Cooperative Collective (C3)

Mentor, Project Manager

Seasoned creative minds working with younger upstarts, helping them bring their projects to fruition. Everyone brings a skill to the group. The other members lend their talents to help you create your project, and you do the same for them (writing, design, video, programming, etc.). No project is too big (within reason) or small.

Instructor: Video Production

Volunteered my services to teach underprivileged teens the art of video production. We cover all the aspects of filming and broadcasting, both in front and behind the camera. The workshop culminated in fully producing a 30 minute live broadcast from start to finish.
