"I took a rebranding project and created the story of a post-apocalyptic militarized CDC. Explaining that project and process to create it got me in the door at Lucasfilm by broadcasting how much I love storytelling. So, if you're a Star Wars fan, do a Star Wars project and put it online. You never know who's looking."
