03 About
Behind
the image.
I’m a production leader who understands the creative because I’ve spent my career making the work.
Today, I oversee original production operations at Gaia, managing a $13M annual production budget and approximately 200 hours of original content each year across studio and field production.
Previously, I led visual content at Yoga Journal, produced commercial and editorial work for brands and publications including National Geographic, and worked in integrated production at Digital Kitchen on projects for HBO, Showtime, TNT and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
I take on select contract engagements alongside my role at Gaia. Based in Boulder, I work with clients on cinematography, editorial photography and production leadership. Get in touch to discuss your scope, location and dates.
