Producer

Creative Producer | Bringing creative visions to life by aligning projects, people, and processes.

Master of bridging creative and practical, translating between clients and artists, and kicking blockers out of the way to enable the delivery of great visual and motion work. 

As an adaptable and empathetic project leader with 15+ years of varied creative production management experience, my background includes 2D + stop-motion animation, 3D printing, VFX, high resolution photo retouching, computer-generated imagery (CGI) rendered stills and animation. 

Major strengths: big-picture prioritization with small detail precision, building and updating budget estimates + schedules, digital asset management, relationship building, clear communication, simplifying and extracting action items from complex discussions.
