Hi! I’m D. Hood, a producer and creative director based in Los Angeles. I’ve operated at the intersection of multimedia entertainment, lifestyle media, and live events for over 15 years.
Before getting my hands dirty, I worked as a writer and content director, which continues to inform my approach to hands-on creative production - by balancing concept, narrative, and logistics.
I ideate, create, host, build, direct, and critique - partnering with artists, brands, and organizations to build visually driven, culturally fluent, and thoughtfully produced projects.
Let me help you mold your story.
