◆ About
Hi, I'm Jess.
I manage end-to-end production across motion and stills content — working hand in glove with agencies and production companies to bring creative to life, from initial development through to final delivery.
Melbourne-based. 10+ years producing commercials, branded content, and brand documentary for agencies and national brands — and an Australian fixer for international productions shooting in Australia.
◆ A bit more
My experience spans roles including line producer, production manager, director and art department — depending on the needs of the project.
I handle all pre-production elements, including storyboarding, shoot scheduling, permits and logistics management, with experience across locations, children and complex production requirements. Post-production and delivery, I manage end to end.
I work across a broad range of brands, formats and content styles, bringing a practical, creative, and solutions-focused approach to every stage of production.

Shooting in Australia?
I'm your fixer on the ground.
For overseas productions bringing work to Melbourne and across Australia, I work as a local fixer — pulling together crew, locations, permits and logistics so your team can land and shoot without losing a day to the unfamiliar.
Ten years of Australian-market relationships, a trusted network across camera, lighting, grip, art and post, and the kind of pre-pro that means no surprises at customs, on location, or in the edit.
