WHO IS KORAY? 

I make work that entertains first, then stays with you later. The kind that makes you do a double take on your own life. I’m drawn to stories with heart, humor, nostalgia, and perspective shifts. If it makes you laugh, feel awe, or see yourself differently, it worked.

​

I’m a producer, filmmaker, and creative builder with 6+ years in advertising, creating campaigns, commercials, and ideas from concept to completion. Production taught me how to make things happen; instinct drives me to make them matter. I live where vision meets execution.

​

After moving around the country 10+ times before landing in Los Angeles, I developed an eye for people, culture, and overlooked details. That perspective fuels everything I create.

​

I’m a young Black creative with a nostalgic lens, a producer’s discipline, and a director’s curiosity — building work that makes people feel something.

​

P.S. A few of my favorite films include 

  • Life (1999)

  • The Goofy Movie (1995)

  • I Love You, Man (2009)

  • The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)

Cover Art for Curated Playlists

You can get to know a person a great deal through the music that they listen to. I had a passion project that fused my love for music and photography and came up with a few playlist, hence "Curated By KØRŸ". Take a listen for yourself, you might even learn something. Check out some of the art covers of shoots I've done as well.

Last Summer I had a virtual residency with Wieden+Kennedy. One of the many things I got to create is right below. What you see is my personal story. It's in puzzle form, see if you can solve it. Drag and place the images in proper order.
