As a producer my duties include managing and tracking active projects, setting meetings and schedules, creating estimates and bids for new projects, acting as a point of contact for potential and current clients, artist management, auditing projects to stay on budget, and keeping record of all meeting and client notes. I handle long term projects with clients such as Wizards of the Coast, Riot, HiRez, and PipeWorks. As such I am familiar with the ever shifting scheduling and content creation of live service games. I've also handled a large number of smaller projects with tight deadlines and many moving parts. This has given me the benefit of working with many different types of project tracking software such as Jira, Airtable, and Shotgun. Whether it be a short term engagement or a long running project I make sure everything is organized and delivered in a timely fashion.I am also in charge of the company's internal committees, which exist to help keep the moral high for everyone manning the SuperGenius ship! I look out for my team and my clients and make sure that at the end of the day everyone's got what they need.

As a contracted project coordinator I developed and maintained the project tracking documentation, workflow, and schedule. I assisted the creative lead by setting project milestones and being the primary point of contact for the client. As the point of contact I kept record of all notes and managed client expectations under intense deadlines and shifting priorities. I also assisted with quality assurance for all renders and handled all file deliveries.

I coordinated interdepartmental needs for the VFX branch of the studio such as scheduling reviews, meetings, and the hand off of assets. I kept record of any VFX related notes during interdepartmental meetings. I tracked schedules for the heads of the department and helped them efficiently manage their time. I organized and managed both departmental and director dailies sessions and kept record of all feedback. I also tracked shot development using Shotgun and Excel and relayed information via daily meetings and as necessary to leads/artists to facilitate meeting shot quotas. I managed two Production Assistants working under me and delegated tasks and priorities as needed to them. I also handled miscellaneous office needs to keep the department running smoothly.

I oversaw the production and completion of assigned VFX for NBC’s “GRIMM”, as well as other projects simultaneously. I used Shotgun Studio to develop a custom shot tracking template for our pipeline as well as Word/Excel to create documentation for the team, management, and the client. I maintained client communication, schedules, and expectations while tracking project progression. I created project milestones and saw to their completion and kept an up to date record of project and asset statuses. I was responsible for all digital assets received, generated, and delivered. I assisted with payroll accuracy/distribution, artist schedules, researching workflow solutions, and seeing to office and artist needs as necessary to complete projects on time. I was also in charge of cutting company reels together and maintaining footage archives.
