Big ideas require big skills, but they also start with people. I begin every project by bringing stakeholders together, listening to every perspective, and collaborating to craft a clear brief with goals and deliverables. That brief becomes our roadmap, guiding the team to turn bold, ambitious ideas into reality. Work that’s creative, impactful, and a little fun along the way.

Effective communication is at the heart of every successful project. Knowing when to use Slack, Zoom, or meet in person allows relationships to thrive, whether teams are remote or on-site. By fostering clear, thoughtful, and timely communication, trust is built across departments and vendors, ensuring alignment, collaboration, and a shared sense of purpose throughout every stage of production.

Great projects thrive on clarity, alignment, and trust. I lead with clear expectations, guiding teams without micromanaging, and give creators the agency to bring their best work forward. Using Gantt charts, shared calendars, and planning tools and automated systems (thanks AI) to keep timelines on track across multiple time zones while ensuring complex projects run smoothly, deliver high-quality, impactful results. And, of course, look visually stunning, because we are, after all, artists.

Every project is approached with a focus on return on investment and maximizing impact. Budgets are treated as if they were our own, constantly evaluating where dollars will have the biggest effect and where efficiencies can be gained. By asking how to do more with less and making strategic financial decisions, projects stay on track, deliver high value, and ensure resources are used thoughtfully to drive the strongest outcomes.

AI is used as a tool to accelerate work while keeping the “why” behind each project front and center. By crafting precise prompts and staying up-to-date with the newest visual AI tools, administrative tasks are streamlined, freeing the team to spend more time in their zone of genius. This approach allows creativity to flourish, producing work that is bold, thoughtful, and still has the human touch to it.

Bringing projects to life takes more than skills. It takes grit, optimism, and staying calm under pressure. I lead with certainty even through gray areas, keeping teams grounded and focused when challenges arise. With a glass-half-full perspective and a steady presence, I inspire confidence, drive projects forward, and make sure ambitious ideas are executed with both creativity and poise… and of course, having fun along the way.
