I’m a VFX and animation production professional with 10+ years of experience managing international feature and animation workflows, from planning and scheduling through delivery. I’ve worked in Line Producer and Production Manager roles across multi-vendor teams, coordinating artists, supervisors, producers, and cross-functional stakeholders to keep projects on track without compromising quality. I’m especially strong in project scheduling, resource planning, and risk management, using production tracking tools like Autodesk Flow Production Tracking (ShotGrid) to maintain clear visibility for teams and clients. I enjoy breaking down complex dependencies between departments (modeling, animation, lighting, FX, and compositing), communicating effectively across time zones, and mentoring production coordinators to improve cadence and information flow.
