I have worked with art department teams doing period research, sourcing props, designing printed materials such as signage, newspapers and book covers, shopping and returns, and dressing sets. I also have experience post-supervising and have worked well with clients, editors, sound designers and colorists. Finally, I have also successfully managed fundraising efforts for independent films and nonprofit theater, managed crowdfunding campaigns- surpassing goals and have experience applying for grants, filling out applications and writing grant proposals.
