Producer · Prose On Pixels · Citi Bank

Progress is Beauty

When Citi Bank opened a new branch in Midtown Manhattan, they wanted the building itself to speak. A vinyl-wrapped mural by a local artist, reflecting the city and Citi's century-plus presence in it.

I produced it end-to-end: sourced and pitched the artist shortlist, ran contracts and check-in rhythms, coordinated fabrication and installation with external partners, booked crew to film the work and the artist interview, and led post-production on the campaign film from pre-pro through final delivery.

Production Coordinator · Prom Creative · NYC Tourism + Conventions

NYC Local Legends

NYC Tourism + Conventions wanted to pull visitors past the usual Manhattan loop. We made a five part series with them, one neighborhood per borough, each episode following a local icon born and raised there. They walked us through the restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, and parks of their community, and introduced us to other pillars of the community that make their neighborhood home.

I coordinated production across months of shoots: pre production and location scouting, permits and releases, crew and vehicle bookings, call sheets, catering, expense actualization against budget, and file handoff to post.

Silk Almond Milk x Carter Vail social campaign case study

Post Producer · Havas New York · Silk

Silk x Carter Vail

Silk Almond Milk wanted to reach a younger, more online audience. We partnered with Carter Vail, a musician and creator whose voice online combines humor, original music, and loose, playful graphics into a perspective that's completely his own. Together we made a series of social ads that leaned all the way into his voice, driving real engagement and conversation for the brand.

I helped produce the original social ads and fully produced the case study we submitted to Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, which went on to win Havas New York an award for Excellence in Craft.

About

Background

I'm a producer and creative operations lead based in Brooklyn. I've spent the last five years in high-volume creative environments, most recently at Prose On Pixels, where I led a post-merger integration across studios in New York, Chicago, and Costa Rica.

My work sits at the intersection of creative and operations. I translate feedback into actionable direction, build the scheduling and resourcing systems that keep production on track, and partner with leadership on the utilization data that drives decisions. I'm at my best turning ambiguity into something a team can actually execute against.

Right now I'm open to full-time producer and creative operations roles, and I take on select freelance projects, especially when the scope is building a system, launching something new, or rescuing a stuck production.

Production Coordination

Full production logistics across commercials, documentaries, and branded content, serving as the main point of contact who keeps crew, vendors, clients, and creative leads aligned through every phase. Call sheets, bookings, travel, equipment, on set coordination, and wrap and reconciliation, so the creative team can stay focused on the work.

Post Production

Producing post for editorial, animation, and VFX work across broadcast, digital, social, and OOH deliverables. With a technical post background, I translate client feedback into actionable direction for artists, scope creative ideas against budget, and get ahead of issues with creative solutions, keeping scope, timeline, and review cycles aligned through delivery. A deep network of post artists across budget ranges means I can build the right team for whatever a project needs.
