How I Work

My goal with every project is clarity, transparency, and shared expectations. I use open-source production practices — meaning I share the tools, systems, and processes I use so you always understand how and why decisions are made.

Four Stages of Production

  • Understanding goals, scope, constraints, needs, and readiness.

  • Description text goes hereBudgets, timelines, systems, tools, communication frameworks, and event structure.

  • Vendor coordination, staffing, rehearsals, layouts, schedules, and operational prep.

  • On-site management, cueing, backstage direction, and post-event wrap.

Timelines & Availability

  • Timelines depend on scope, readiness, venue availability, vendor needs, and marketing requirements.

  • Require 6+ months from consultation to execution.

  • Accepted on a limited basis. Rush projects incur a significantly increased rate due to accelerated timelines and labor intensity.

  • On-site management, cueing, backstage direction, and post-event wrap.

Proposal & Contracting

  • This gives me the information needed to understand your project’s scope, goals, and readiness.

  • I review your RFP and follow up with any questions.

  • A 30–60 minute discussion to align expectations and determine the best production structure.

  • After the consultation, I draft a customized agreement outlining:

    • Scope

    • Deliverables

    • Timeline expectations

    • Payment terms

    • Responsibilities

    • Change-order policy

    • Cancellation & postponement terms

Rates & Billing

  • 20% of total event budget, billed in 3 stages:

    • Deposit (Contract Signing)

    • Milestone Payment (Mid-preproduction)

    • Final Payment (Within 14 days after the event.)

  • Defined at contract signing. Best for smaller events with stable scope.

  • Lower base rate + small percentage of the total budget. Useful for events with variable budgets.

  • Reserved for consulting, advisory roles, or limited-scope support.
