About

I'm a Producer specializing in art outsourcing for the video game industry. I lead cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality visual assets to game developers around the world, ensuring our work aligns with each client's creative vision, production goals, and technical requirements. Working within a service-based studio environment, I manage the full production pipeline—from project planning and asset scheduling to client communications and delivery. I’m experienced in balancing internal workflows with the needs of external partners, coordinating feedback loops, managing expectations, and adapting to a wide range of production styles and tools. Over the years, I’ve helped scale projects of all sizes by building strong team dynamics, developing efficient processes, and ensuring our artists are supported, motivated, and set up for success. I’m equally comfortable working in Agile, hybrid, or linear pipelines, and I’m committed to fostering a culture of collaboration, trust, and accountability. Whether I’m troubleshooting a pipeline issue, aligning cross-cultural teams, or navigating shifting scopes, I stay focused on delivering consistent results—on time, on budget, and at the highest level of quality. I’m always learning, always pushing to do better, and always looking for new ways to help our clients bring their worlds to life.
