Special Skills & Experience
I am an experienced Art Department Coordinator with over a decade working on major TV commercial productions, supporting high-pressure creative teams and keeping fast-moving departments organized, on budget, and fully staffed. I serve as the main communication hub between the Production Designer, Art Director, Producers, and crew, translating creative direction into clear actionable steps. I have extensive experience tracking and reconciling art department budgets, managing purchase orders and petty cash, negotiating with vendors, and ensuring the department stays within budget while meeting demanding client expectations.
My workflow includes researching and sourcing materials, props, furniture, and specialty items; managing rental and purchase agreements; coordinating all deliveries, pickups, and returns; and overseeing prompt payment of invoices. I schedule and support the entire art department crew, accurately processing timecards and maintaining an efficient flow between prep, shoot days, and wrap. On set, I’m known for staying calm and solution-oriented, anticipating needs, handling last-minute changes, and keeping communication clear across multiple teams.
I have strong relationships with vendors and have worked with high-profile clients including Blue Buffalo, Coca-Cola, Walmart, Uber Eats, DraftKings, Taco Bell, KFC, Amazon, and many others. My experience includes building and maintaining department documentation, wrap folders, and cost reports, as well as using digital tools such as Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, and production budgeting software. I bring a positive, collaborative energy to every project and thrive in environments where organization, communication, and creative problem-solving are essential.
