Pixel Narratives started with a camera. Sort of.
In 2025, I started experimenting with AI video, creating cinematic commercials, ridiculous characters, and ads that probably would have required a Hollywood budget a few years earlier.
People started asking how I was making them.
Then the questions changed.
Could AI help with research? What tools should our team be using? Could we train our employees? Where should we implement AI? When does it make sense to build something custom?
Those conversations became the foundation for Pixel Narratives.
Before starting the company, I spent more than 15 years in financial services, working closely with business owners and leadership teams. That experience taught me something I’ve carried into this business.
People are usually pretty good at the thing they do every day. Asking them to learn an entirely new technology on top of everything else isn’t always realistic.
It also taught me the value of listening, understanding what someone wants to accomplish, and helping them work through the decisions that get them there.
That’s how I approach AI.
I've spent a lot of time experimenting with what these tools can do, from building software and business systems to creating videos, music, and marketing campaigns. I even wrote a book about the opportunities AI creates when people are willing to try something new, Try the D*mn Door.
But the point of all that experimenting isn’t to collect more tools.
It’s to figure out what’s possible, what works, and how to put it to use for somebody else.
That’s what we’re building at Pixel Narratives.
