I help creative teams turn complex problems into clear paths forward.
MY SPECIALTIES
Creative Production · Program & Operations · Stakeholder Alignment · Systems & Process
HI, I’M LEA!
My career has taken me through VFX, feature animation, games, and publishing operations - but I've always gravitated toward the messy middle between creative ambition and figuring out how we're actually going to pull it off.
I started out in production, learning how the work moved and what it took to keep complicated creative projects on track. As my roles grew, so did the problems I was responsible for - from schedules, workflows, and department planning to cross-functional programs, operational systems, and helping teams make decisions when the path forward wasn't obvious.
Along the way, I realized the part I enjoy most isn't simply managing what's on the schedule. It's understanding how a team works: where things get stuck, what people actually need, what doesn't need to be as complicated as it currently is, and what little bit of structure might make everyone's lives easier.
Sometimes that's a production strategy. Sometimes it's a workflow, an automation, or a resource that makes knowledge easier to share. Sometimes it's getting the right people in a room and making sure everyone is solving the same problem. And sometimes the best answer is not adding another process at all.
Working across very different teams and industries has made me pretty comfortable walking into something unfamiliar, asking questions, connecting dots, and turning a lot of moving pieces into something people can actually work with.
That's the kind of work I want to keep doing - helping creative teams solve complicated problems, build things that are actually useful, and do ambitious work without losing the humans doing it along the way.
What I Do
Creative Production
I help turn evolving creative direction into something teams can actually plan around - connecting creative goals with schedules, resources, dependencies, and the realities of production.
Program & Operations
I like stepping into complicated environments, understanding how the work actually happens, and figuring out what will help teams operate more clearly and effectively.
Stakeholder Alignment
A lot of problems aren’t really process problems. They’re clarity problems. I help connect people, priorities, and decisions across teams so everyone understands what we’re solving and what needs to happen next.
Systems & Process
When a workflow, tool, or resource can genuinely make the work easier, I’ll build it. I care less about creating the most complicated system and more about creating something people will actually use.
