What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead high-volume, fast-turnaround production with strong cross-functional alignment—building scalable operating systems, managing risk, and translating technical requirements into structured plans that protect quality and deadlines.

I’m a Production Project Manager and Creative Operations leader with 5+ years managing complex, multi-phase workflows across studio, production, and client-driven environments. I’m expert in resource planning, cross-functional alignment, risk mitigation, and operational system design that supports on-time, high-quality delivery—even under tight, fast-turnaround production cycles. I translate technical drawings, design specifications, and stakeholder requirements into structured project plans that keep work moving and outcomes consistent.

In my current role, I manage scheduling, staffing, and workload planning for 20–40 concurrent motion-capture sessions, improving coverage reliability and reducing last-minute adjustments by 30%. I also lead scalable asset tracking and inventory control systems that increase retrieval accuracy and reduce prep time, while overseeing on-set readiness, quality standards, and risk mitigation. Previously, I directed full project lifecycles for commercial and theatrical clients, strengthening delivery, client communication, and repeat partnerships, and I managed 40+ productions by translating renderings and technical drawings into actionable schedules that delivered 100% of builds on immovable deadlines.
