Managing all elements of art buying/art production is my specialty. With strong relationships within the industry and extensive knowledge of all types of talent, I know the right person to hire for any project. From photographers and illustrators to stylists and hair and make-up artists, I will bring the right team together to make sure your project runs smoothly. 

Exceedingly cost conscious with my eye on the bottom line, I will negotiate fair rates and work to stretch a budget as far as possible. Triple bidding, collaborating with cost consultants and accounting for every dollar spent is all in a day’s work. A natural problem solver, I can anticipate road-blocks before they occur. I pride myself on my enthusiasm and energy and can motivate all team players to work efficiently and harmoniously. 

As a result of my comprehensive experience, I am comfortable walking into any company and collaborating with new people and interfacing with various departments. I can quickly analyze a project and launch it into production. I am available for full, part-time or freelance work and can be based in your office or my home office.
