HI! I'M NEA
A Creative Director, music photographer, and brand strategist with over 20 years of experience, I help artists, music brands, and festivals turn sound into story: building visual worlds and brand presence that hit as hard as the music itself.
My career started long before the photo pit. With two decades of experience leading creative & marketing teams, shaping brand narratives, and translating strategy into high-impact execution for global franchises like Minecraft and its movie, Overwatch, Diablo, and my music content brand, I bring big-brand insight to every project. I know how to translate emotion into engagement and chaos into clarity, ensuring your visuals, content, and strategy resonate and grow your audience.
I’ve built digital audiences of over 40 million views for my drumming brand, guided global brand voices seen by millions more, and learned the rhythms of how people connect, online and in person.
Now, I channel that expertise into the world that’s always been my heartbeat: music. Whether it’s a live show, a tour, music festival, or a full rebrand, I help artists and teams craft visuals, strategic guidance, and storytelling that make fans feel something; the kind of work that lives beyond the scroll and lingers like an encore.

A PERSONAL NOTE
When I’m not behind the scenes you’ll find me behind a drum kit, usually chasing the same pulse that drives every great show: connection. I believe the best content and visuals don’t just capture moments, they build legacies and a lasting connection with fans.
