Jessie has always been the logistics person behind great storytelling. She’ll tell you that’s a creative job, and she’s right.
Jessie grew up in central New York, shaped by rust belt winters, glacial lakes, and a community that worked hard and looked out for each other. It’s the kind of place that gives you a thick skin and a warm heart in equal measure and a near-obsession with the Erie Canal, but that’s for another time.
She wanted the big city badly enough to chase it to Boston, then New York, where she spent years producing documentary and commercial work for brands like Nike, Spotify, and Zola. Real people, authentic moments, full-scale shoots. She was the logistics person behind the storytelling and always knew that was a creative job, whether anyone said so or not.
Before FieldWrk, she moved through documentary production, branded content, commercial shoots, live events, and short films. Every format was different. The core was always the same: find the structure that lets great creative happen, then get out of the way.
That eventually brought her to Fieldwrk, where she runs production from beginning to end: assessing video concepts, building schedules, coordinating shoot logistics, managing freelancer availability and spend, keeping editors on track, and making sure every deliverable lands exactly the way it should.
She shows up prepared, follows up without being asked, and remembers enough about your life to make every call feel a little less like a meeting. Her philosophy is simple: structure isn’t the opposite of creativity. It’s what makes creativity possible. Producers just keep that secret.
Outside of work, Jessie shoots 35mm film badly (her words), watercolors decently, and cooks adventurously. She bikes, gardens, goes to her local indie theater, organizes within her community, and cheers loudly for the WNBA and the New York Mets. She also sings backing vocals for local bands and recorded a children’s album she has explicitly asked us not to link to.
