What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and creativity, offering opportunities for growth and impactful projects.

I am a dedicated and accomplished senior producer with over 15 years of experience in global creative production management. My expertise spans diverse sectors including 2D, 3D, and stop-motion animation, VFX, CGI, and high-resolution still image post-production. I pride myself on my collaborative and team-oriented approach, always striving to deliver projects on-time and on-budget while balancing commercial needs with creative aspirations.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed complex production workflows, including specialized CGI footwear projects for Nike, where I oversaw budgets averaging $150K bi-annually. My ability to develop and maintain relational databases for asset tracking has been instrumental in managing over 450 unique footwear SKUs. I have collaborated with high-profile clients such as Airbnb, Netflix, and Dell, ensuring that all deliverables meet the highest standards of quality and creativity.
