I’m a freelance Production and Project Management Leader based in Colorado. With years of experience under my belt, I’ve had the pleasure of working on projects for both big-name global brands and up-and-coming talents.
I’m all about guiding teams to come up with creative solutions and make sure they stay safe from any legal pitfalls. I’m like a project leader, breathing life into them and making sure they stay on budget and conflict-free.
My journey started when I was working for a San Francisco-based publisher, creating content for some of the biggest names in the industry. Then, I joined TBWA/Chiat/Day Los Angeles and helped pioneer global Asset Management while producing work for PlayStation, Apple and Nissan Global.
I moved to Boulder, CO, and joined CP+B. I led the Art Production Department, Internal Content Studio, and Post Production Studio, and I mentored and trained some talented producers.
I also led in-house production services, so we could better serve our clients. Throughout my career, I’ve always been on the lookout for ways to improve departments and agencies. I’ve implemented new processes, systems, and tools to make things more efficient and effective.
When I’m not working, I like to spend time with my daughters, volunteer for the arts, travel, practice yoga, and knit.
That’s a wrap!
