Independent Consultant · Baltimore, MD
Proving that your art is yours — in the age of AI.
I help creative companies, law firms, and individual artists document human authorship, build provenance records, and navigate the synthetic media landscape. Ten-plus years of practice as an artist, filmmaker, and cultural theorist — now applied where the law needs it most.
Services
01
Human Authorship Documentation Specialist
I analyze a creator’s or company’s process — sketches, archives, timestamps, working files, personal narrative — and build the evidentiary provenance record that copyright registration and legal defense requires. Human creative intent, made legible and defensible.
Best for: AI-assisted works seeking copyright registration, artists whose work has been challenged as synthetic, companies auditing creative pipelines.
$2,000 – $5,000 / project02
Synthetic Media Advisory Consultant
Strategic counsel on where a creative work sits in the current AI-copyright landscape — and what the right protection strategy is. I assess whether a work is registrable, whether trade secret or contract protection makes more sense, and how to position AI-generated assets ethically and legally.
Not legal advice. A creative intelligence layer that feeds your legal team’s work — like the expert witness who understands both sides.

The Supreme Court confirmed in March 2026 that human authorship is a non-negotiable requirement for copyright — and that documenting that authorship is now a threshold requirement, not an afterthought. The Copyright Office requires applicants to prove which portions of a work reflect human creative decisions. Most companies have no process for this. I do.
Let’s work together.
Whether you’re a law firm needing a creative expert on a case, a company building a documentation process, or an artist whose work deserves to be protected — reach out.
