How I Work With You & Your Team

Assess & Design

I meet with you to delve into the details of how your creative team operates, then map out where it's breaking down and what to fix. From there, I design or redesign the operating model — the structure, workflows, and roles — whether you're an established team or a startup building from zero.

Build & Implement

I revamp, or build new, the systems that make the plan real: digital asset and file management systems, intake forms, brief templates, schedules, approval workflows, and the platform to run them that aligns with your team culture. I provide hands-on workshops so your team embraces what we've built.

Lead & Scale

I step in as your embedded creative ops lead when you need senior guidance without a full-time hire. Drawing on my leadership experience and extensive publishing background, I bring specialized expertise to creative and production operations at scale.
