ABOUT
What I Do
I'm a production coordinator graduating from SVA in May 2026, with hands-on experience at Framestore — one of the world's leading VFX studios.
My background as a CG generalist means I understand how shots actually get made. I can have real conversations with artists, spot pipeline problems before they become delays, and translate between creative and technical teams without anything getting lost.
I've managed productions with 50+ shots, 10+ external collaborators, and 6+ revision rounds per shot. I've built tracking systems handling 1,300+ entries. And I've spent nearly a year on the production floor at a top VFX house, learning how great studios actually run.
My Producer Philosophy
Good production is invisible.
When I do my job right, nobody notices — because the schedule held, the handoffs were clean, and the artists had what they needed before they had to ask.
I came up as an artist. I know what it feels like to be blocked by unclear briefs, waiting on feedback, or losing hours to avoidable miscommunications. That experience is what drives how I coordinate. I'm not just tracking tasks — I'm building the conditions where creative work can actually happen.
I want artists to do the only thing they're meant to do: create. I'll handle everything behind the scenes.
CASE STUDY
Day Runner
Framestore
Framestore is a global VFX studio with credits including Avengers, The Hunger Games, and Avatar. As a Day Runner in their New York office, I supported daily production operations across multiple departments in a high-volume studio environment — coordinating between producers, artists, and engineers, tracking assets and deliveries using CETA and Excel, and keeping the floor running through a major office relocation.
CASE STUDY
Somber
Producer & CG Generalist
Somber is my senior thesis film at SVA — a narrative CG short produced across a 2–3 person core team with 10+ external collaborators.
As both Producer and CG Generalist, I managed end-to-end production: 20–50 shots, 6+ revision rounds per shot, interdepartmental handoffs across animation, FX, and compositing. I built and maintained every tracker, schedule, and delivery system from scratch. Most milestones landed on time; the 1–2 that slipped were managed and communicated proactively.
This project is where I learned that good production isn't about controlling outcomes — it's about building systems resilient enough to absorb the unexpected.
