Upon moving to Los Angeles, she produced numerous broadcast television shows for CBS, NBC, ABC, HGTV and promotional campaigns for everyone from FX to Doritos, created several music festivals, produced Social Media Week - LA, a cattle drive for the Hallmark Channel through Times Square and holograms for Guillermo del Toro and Comic Con. Her deep love of design garnered her a primetime Emmy nomination her first time out as an art director on Hell's Kitchen, which catapulted her into production design working on numerous commercials, reality shows specializing in make-over shows including Kitchen Nightmares, Extreme Makeover Home Edition and Bar Rescue. She has continued to work as an Executive Producer with Creative Collision, where she is privileged to work on branding and advertising campaigns with clients as diverse as Encyclopedia Britannica and Western Digital.
