it's pretty simple.  i love production.  

i have been fortunate to work in a variety of areas of production from photo to video, food to fashion...and i love it all! 

it all started in back in Chicago where i began as a producer for catalogs and food photography.  in 2002, i decided to take a chance and write a letter to renowned photographer Bruce Weber and lucky for me he read it! he brought me to NYC where i produced with him for 3 years and learned a lifetime of knowledge and experience.  

in 2005 i went on to freelance for a short time when finally in 2006 i found a home at J Crew / Madewell.  in the 10 years there, i traveled all around the world and produced their shoots for catalog, internet and advertising along with brand videos and NYFW shows.  

i am grateful to have worked with all of the amazing people i have and to do what i do.
