What Do People Who Have Worked with Kim Want You To Know About Her?

Daniel Scrivner – Head of Design, Class Dojo

“Kim is an incredible person to have on your team. Whether you’re producing a massive three-week campaign or a single day shoot, she can lead it from start to finish. Kim’s really thoughtful, detail oriented, focused, and personable. She brings a wealth of experience managing production of all sizes. And she’s great at both the macro – executive reviews, planning, and hiring the right team – and micro – the day-to-day execution of every last detail – of her work. I’d highly recommend Kim as the Executive Producer on your next project!”

Rachel Dorsey – Executive Producer, Bone + Gold

“Kim is a talented producer and team leader. She is an incredible asset. I’ve had the opportunity to work for her and with her – when she’s part of a project, in any capacity, I know we’ll be successful. She is thorough, direct, thoughtful and as professional as they come. She keeps her eye on the end goal, while considering opportunities for efficiency and added value. She has produced and executive produced a wide range of impressive projects and has my highest recommendation.”

Jessica Pettigrew – Executive Digital Arts, Goodby Silverstein & Partners

“I am a huge fan of Kim’s. She is extremely thorough and organized (she puts together spec documents that are so detailed I could cry). That attention to detail, particularly on large-scale projects, is an absolute life-saver. Kim fosters a great team atmosphere which helps make difficult projects not only bearable, but also rewarding. She is always very accommodating, yet clear and realistic. Kim is also excellent at creative problem-solving. She not only provides multiple suggestions as to how to achieve a desired result, she also thinks out of the box and offers ideas that may not have been thought of yet. I can’t fully express how highly I recommend Kim.”

Jenny Michelfelder – Design Manager, Square

“In working with Kim for 7 years, I’ve witnessed firsthand her impressive ability to grow and lead a team from scratch, manage world class photoshoots with top talent, and run an impressive in house production operation across multiple stakeholder teams across the company. On top of all this, she is truly a joy to work with. She approaches the work with a positive and collaborative attitude, and her attention to detail and meticulous organization is what ensures that the creative vision is met with every project. Kim is a true asset to any team!”

Michelle Morrison – Sr. Design Program Manager, Google

“Kim is a fantastic producer. She is thorough, knowledgeable, and prepared to handle any situation. When working on complex problems she is cool, calm and collected. We had the pleasure of executing dozens of photos shoots together, all of which delivered beautiful results.”

Jon Randazzo – Creative Director, Freelance

“Kim is a pure pleasure to work with. She always has a positive outlook and is an extremely detailed and organized producer. Her ability to find solutions to tough projects is unmatched. Kim not only brings her knowledge of vendors and resources, but also ideas and insights on how to elevate a project. She would be a huge asset to any project or team.”
