Bio
Ryan Vance
Jamie is an extremely creative, hard working and dedicated editor. Not only is she a master of her craft, technically and creatively, she also cares deeply about the team she's working on and bringing leadership and positivity to every interaction. We were lucky enough to have her on our team for 4 years and I can't wait to work with her again!
James Murphy
I have only had the pleasure of working with Jamie for about 7 months (although it feels like we've known each other for years), but working with her has been nothing short of remarkable. Day in and day out she continuously surprised me with her poise under pressure, laid back attitude, and constant willingness to help. Jamie is one of the most organized and reliable editors I have worked with. But if there is one quality of her's that stands out above the rest is her mentorship. Without Jamie, my team would not have been primed for success when we launched the NY studio. She recruited, trained, and mentored all on-premises members of post in both Los Angeles and New York, and all remote editors in San Francisco. She built many of our workflows, created documentation, and pressed the importance communication and organization with a team that spanned both coasts. There was not a project opened by any editor that didn't know exactly what they were looking at and could complete it if called upon. That was all Jamie's doing. I relied on Jamie on almost a daily basis. The same will go for our entire team. The success of post production at Tonal can be directly linked to Jamie's leadership and mentorship. If you're in the need of an editor that will elevate your brand, streamline your team as a whole, and keep them organized and push communication, then look no further with Jamie.
