Bio
🎥 Christina Nowak
I absolutely adore working with Francesca, dare I say it one of the best and most pleasant producers I have worked with. The energy and synergy we have when coming up with new ideas, is always encouraged and greatly received... and... she always pulls it off so successfully with such aplomb. I enjoy every moment working with Francesca, and look forward to what comes next. She's an asset to any company and is the type of star you want for a buzzing and healthy culture.

If success is determined by who you work with, Francesca is someone you want on your team. She is highly organized with the unique ability to understand complex technological solutions and also explain details in a way that is easy to understand. Most importantly, she’s simply a great person. Whether you’re evaluating Francesca as a vendor, client or employee, I highly recommend her.
