I produce commercial, branded, and short-form content across video, photography, and social. My work includes broadcast commercials, digital campaigns, lifestyle and healthcare content, and fast-turn social deliverables. I regularly support projects ranging from lean, single-day shoots to large-scale, multi-location productions, adapting the approach based on scope, budget, and creative needs.

Yes. I’m available for in-house, contract, and freelance producer roles, depending on the needs of the team and project. I’ve worked embedded within agencies, alongside brand teams, and as a freelance line producer, and I’m comfortable scaling my involvement from short-term coverage to longer-term engagements.

In addition to my traditional work with commercial production companies, I work directly with agencies and with brands, often acting as a bridge between creative, production, and client teams. My experience includes agency-side producing, line producing, and client-facing roles where collaboration, communication, and execution all need to stay aligned.

Some highlights include catching a pass from Tom Brady on a commercial shoot, standing in for Charles Barkley while he kept me on my toes all day, walking through Chicago with Jordan Peele during production, and seeing a spot I produced play inside the United Center during Derrick Rose’s retirement. I’ve also tracked down a Batmobile in Chicago in under 24 hours. Those moments stick with me because they reflect what I love about production—solving problems fast, staying calm under pressure, and being present when something special happens on set.

Commercial production in Chicago ranges from lean, fast-moving crews to large, highly structured productions, depending on the project, location, and client needs. Shoots often take place in active environments — neighborhoods from the South Side to Logan Square, hospitals, stadiums, and downtown corridors — where permits, access, weather, and logistics have to be handled without disrupting the city. A Chicago commercial producer needs to know how to scale a production up or down while keeping things efficient and compliant.

Commercial production costs in Chicago vary based on crew size, location type, shoot length, and logistical complexity. Smaller commercial shoots can begin in the low five figures, while larger brand campaigns involving sensitive locations or multi-day city work scale accordingly. An experienced Chicago line producer helps brands spend intentionally — choosing the right production approach for the job while avoiding delays, overages, or unnecessary friction.
