Manager of Development & Current Programming, Walt Disney TV Animation

I began my career as a creative executive at Walt Disney TV Animation where I oversaw the writing and storyboards for 100+ hours of television. My responsibilities included reviewing pitches and other submissions, hiring and managing writers, and giving story notes on every draft of every episode we were producing from the initial story premise through to final delivery of the episode.

There are similarities between making a television show that people want to watch and designing a software product that people want to use: 

• Understand the customer’s requirements

• Iterate on creative solutions

• Focus groups & user testing

• Attention to detail, fit & finish

• Moments of delight
