I’m fueled by fresh conversations and the thrill of meeting new people. When I’m not outdoors soaking up nature, you’ll find me spinning stories in an old soul style. Originally from a small town, I’ve now swapped wide open spaces for the heartbeat of the big city. Every day, I truly wake up grateful for the work I am a part of.

Progress and innovation are words synonymous with automotive design. But they are only achieved with a spirit that never stops challenging itself. Never stops looking forward towards the future. Buick recognizes that the design and innovation of the future will come from a desire, not to outdo others, but to outdo themselves. They're proud of how far they've come, but even more proud of where they are going. This film is about that spirit of human progress. The drive that doesn't come from without, but from within. To always outdo one's self. To never settle. To always look forward. -- Agency: Publicis ECD: Will Tao Creative Collective: Variable Director: Salomon Ligthelm Cinematographer: Khalid Mohtaseb Executive Producer: Tyler Ginter Supporting Producer: Alex Friedman Supporting Director: Jonathan Bregel Art Director: Caitlin Van Horn Production Company: Black+Cameron Executive Producer: Andrew S.T.
