hi there.
I am a digital producer with 15 years of experience with campaigns and platforms, including site builds, redesigns and maintenance, native and web apps, dynamic display media, immersive WebGL experiences, CRM and lead generation, 360 campaigns and brand partnerships, and lots in between.
I have led projects from the agency, partner and brand side, and overseen 7-figure production budgets for Fortune 100 companies. My expertise spans the entire project lifecycle, from scoping, pitches and kickoffs to experience design, development, testing and release.
​
As a project lead overseeing teams of producers, creatives, engineers, partners and clients, I enjoy the challenge of thoughtfully navigating the overlapping and sometimes conflicting needs and priorities to steer the teams toward a shared vision of success.
​​
I love the delicate balance of art, science, emotion and utility in order to bring valuable experiences to people through beautiful, effortless design, whether that be a seamless checkout flow or engaging storytelling. And while I have a strong acuity for the work itself, I am most passionate about how the work is done - operations, the project approach, and ensuring the team is motivated and supported while servicing the highest of expectations.
When I'm not doing producer things, I am a busy body who loves to run, travel, hike and photograph landscapes. And definitely one of those people who re-organizes cabinets and closets for fun.
I am based in the LA and OC area of So Cal, looking for long-term opportunities to develop and grow teams, partnerships and programs for agencies or brands.
skills
My background centers around product launches, brand campaigns and platform governance for globally recognized brands. I bring a broad and deep range of skills, experiences and intuition to the design, setup and management of complex, large-scale projects. As both a project architect and guide, I have the vision to craft projects strategically and the practical expertise to navigate the daily intricacies of digital project management - as shown by my recurring and ongoing relationships with top agencies.

projects
I manage the full lifecycle of interactive projects.
requirements gathering and discovery → scoping and definition → UX and visual design
frontend and backend development → QA → deployment → maintenance and optimization
I have a wide breadth of experience leading different types of digital projects, with a deep knowledge in delivering website and web/native applications - especially 3D experiences. In addition to running projects from inception to delivery, I also have extensive experience with joining teams mid-flight to lead projects to delivery. As a freelancer, I have learned to be quick to adapt to new processes, teams and needs, jumping in to support and lead with minimal transition time.

"She’s a strategic and creative thinker, helping bring the best product to life with her commitment, understanding of the medium and target consumer. She’s a team player that inspires her team to bring their best work to the table. I love her can do attitude and professionalism, and ability to lead initiatives to success."
- Executive Producer
"I’ve been fortunate to have worked with her. . . on a few of the most impactful digital products that Innocean has put out. Among the many ways Ashley will help push an idea forward, it’s her attention to detail and managing complexities that, as a creative lead, I found so important. Also as a creative lead, I always find it critical to have a creative partner in the producer role and with Ashley this has been the case."
- Creative Director
"But Ashley is so much more than just a producer. She exhibits an exceptional level of business acumen, and easily sees the bigger picture from both the client's and the agency's perspective. She contributes high-level creative and strategic thinking on every project she is involved with, and has a knack for keeping creative teams on strategy, while balancing budgets and timelines."
