Creative Production & Visual Storytelling

I bring production efficiency and visual clarity to creative pipelines. With experience in scheduling, asset tracking, and 3D modeling for animation workflows, I support studio teams by managing timelines, building production-ready assets, and ensuring seamless communication across departments.

Pipeline Support & Remote Transition
During the onset of COVID-19, our in-person production was forced to transition fully remote with just two weeks' notice. I led the transition by setting up Artella, integrated with Autodesk Maya, for project-wide asset syncing, task management, and version control. To support this shift, I created a training video for my team and other animation groups, demonstrating how to navigate the new cloud-based pipeline. Despite the disruption, our team met every milestone and completed the film on time.
