ABOUT
I am passionate about communication and design.
For over 12 years, I worked in various aspects of the entertainment industry, on set and in the production office.
​
Working under large and small budgets and strict timelines, I learned firsthand the importance of communication, efficiency, project management, time management, and teamwork.
​
I have extensive experience communicating with stakeholders at each team level, from co-workers, supervisors, external teams (contactors), and the client (or, in the entertainment industry terms, the studio).
As a worker and designer, I think outside the box to solve a problem or challenge. I define the problem/ challenge as the client’s or company’s goal to achieve a desired outcome.
​
To nurture my creativity, in my free time, I enjoy attending museums, local art/ storytelling events, workshops/ lectures, practicing yoga/ meditation, reading and watching movies.
