A little bit about me

Erin Ray x NYC

I have over 10 years of experience in digital, film, and immersive production, driven by my passion storytelling. I have a diverse skill set including work in augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI), with a focus on machine learning and image analysis, along with mobile apps and narrative film content. 

 

I bring creativity and enthusiasm to every project, whether filming internationally or managing digital and physical activations. I have collaborated with renowned brands and companies such as The Met, Netflix, Google, Verizon, MTV, Domino's, Coca-Cola, and Adobe. My versatility allows me to wear many hats, making me a specialist in delivering innovative and groundbreaking experiences across the globe.

Based outside of Toronto, Canada, I frequent London, UK, the USA, and enjoy working on remote and in-person activations.
