During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Vespertine Circus produced 17 music video/short films as part of 3 evening length shows. As Director of Photography, I guided performers thought creative and technical aspects of adapting their performances for camera and capturing high quality footage using available tools. I also edited acts, aided in marketing the shows, and contributed to the booking of new musical artists for each month's show.

As a product designer for VIDA, I designed more than 20 new products in apparel, home goods, and accessories following the company's agile product roadmap. I overhauled the technical documentation for the entire product line with robust tech packs and fit documentation, reducing returns and increasing product consistency from our suppliers. I created a PLM system using Google Sheets to speed up product development, implemented sample room organization, and trained a team of 5 interns on how to spec garments and effectively record sample comments.

I worked with the Head of Creative and Design as well as the Product Developer to develop new products from inspiration to product launch. Created a launch process and launch calendar to plan out new product launches and enable cross team communication and efficiency. Conducted market research, communicated with suppliers, and developed flat sketches and tech packs for existing and future products.

I founded this entertainment company to meet demand for specialty entertainment at corporate and private events around the Bay Area. Working with high end clients in Napa and San Francisco and the best local talent, I have produced entertainment for over 125 events. I helped clients to identify their theme and select talent best suited to the logistics of the venue, event timeline, and budget.
