Laura has over thirty years of professional experience as an entertainment technologist. Working across a diverse group of production environments Laura seeks to demystify the technological hurdles to creative visions and improve a client's experience of working with cutting edge technology. This includes merging the toolsets of video, lighting, audio and scenic automation into one unified visual experience. Her work includes Broadway shows like Matilda, Shrek & Spamalot, concert experiences from David Bowie to Miley Cyrus to Savion Glover and televised events from Olympic Opening Ceremonies to the Latin Grammy Awards, the MTV VMAs and The Video Game Awards. Creative technology applied to film, broadcast, theatrical, concert, immersive and location based entertainment is a specialized field with a demand for experienced professionals. To grow this community, Laura has written two textbooks for Routledge. The first on Screens Producing and Media Operations (Fall 2019) and the second (Winter 2023), Real-Time Video Content for Virtual Production & Live Entertainment. She also co-founded frame:work, a community organization for creative video professionals working in live events, installations and virtual production. #wearelivepixelpeopleAfter five years wandering the globe with her husband as a digital nomad, Laura has returned to Portland, OR, to look for new opportunities, both local and international, to advance the creative video production practice.
