With 15 years of experience as a creative, Cody is an interdisciplinary writer/director who edits. His work meets at the intersection of technology, advertising, and filmmaking.

He spent seven years at Apple as a creative before moving into advertising, working for agencies like Terri & Sandy, Droga5, and R/GA. Taking a break from ads, he directed his award-winning debut indie feature film, Alt Space, which secured an international distribution deal with 1091 Pictures and was released on Apple TV and Prime Video in 2020.

Since then, Cody has returned to the ad world and lances freely. Outside of work, he enjoys dorkin’ around on his skateboard, playing baseball with friends, and cooking self-proclaimed “impress” dishes. Oh yeah, he also plays a variety of instruments and was in a touring band as a teenager.
