Expanding the Vision: Wynn Entertainment & The Encore Theater Legacy
"After defining the visual identity of Wynn Nightlife, my natural progression was to stretch my creative boundaries and scale that success across the entire resort ecosystem. Stepping into the role of Executive Creative Director for Wynn Las Vegas, I spearheaded a new conceptual era for Wynn Entertainment, taking over creative production for some of the biggest names in comedy and music including Lionel Richie, Theo Von, Nate Bargatze, Sebastian Maniscalco, Brad Paisley, and Duran Duran. This phase was about more than just capturing performances; it was about giving The Encore Theater the creative reverence it deserved, transforming its digital footprint to solidify a long-lasting entertainment legacy.
My tenure culminated in a highly personal flagship project before my departure: the creation of the 'Check In' series. I envisioned a premium, intimate interview format that paired Wynn’s world-class headliners with a dedicated host, Valerie Lee, to offer an exclusive peek behind the curtain. Building the foundation of 'Check In' remains one of my proudest professional achievements. It is a testament to the strength of the concept and the team that the series continued to thrive under new leadership, ultimately earning a prestigious 2026 Pacific Southwest Emmy Award a definitive stamp of excellence on the creative framework I left behind."
Check In at Wynn
Before there was Check In we had multiple ideas of conducting interviews with the incredible artist at Wynn Las Vegas. Couldnt be more proud to see this project evolve and continue to thrive at Wynn Las Vegas.
