I have been building video departments, optimizing workflows, and producing video and creative content for over 15 years.
I’m passionate about leading creative teams to find the best solution for design challenges without sacrificing the integrity of the work or time away to unplug.

Producer, Commercial — Cutters Studios | Chicago
JULY 2022 – NOV 2022
As a producer at Cutters Studios, I managed multiple post-production projects from award through shipping.

Director of Creative Services, Creative Services Principal — Everspring | Chicago
MARCH 2020 – JULY 2022
As the Director of the Creative Services team, I led a small but powerful group of video editors and motion graphic designers to deliver meaningful content for online learners.
I mentored team members and helped develop their design skills by providing challenging projects and clear feedback when needed. Always pushing for our collective team to raise the bar.
Never afraid to roll up my sleeves and get down to work. I built workflow processes, managed client and internal department expectations, and created estimates and formulas to help bid projects. All while writing scripts, filming on locations, developing design standards, and managing the schedule of my team so that we could deliver over 2000 assets, on time, each year.
