For my first initiative at Method Studios, a visual effects firm in Los Angeles, I planned and designed a custom time and attendance system for the studio’s highly granular shot-based work. This new system gave visibility into the studio’s multimillion-dollar budget expenditures for features and transformed time-logging from a once 5-10min daily chore for employees to a 1-2min task.

I also conducted the communication around launch, training, and led customer support for the product. After launch, I streamlined user support for the tool with a new ticketing system in JIRA and reduced troubleshooting time from 10hrs to 1hr weekly by training and distributing onboarding guidance to department leads.

Producers and our finance teams were challenged with managing budgeting and reporting for shows across 4 countries and multiple show types. The studio manages production for tv, streaming, ads, film, and vr.

We needed visibility into project expenditures and staffing but had no central system from which to pull this data, relying on a patchwork of localized custom apps or voluntary reporting in Shotgun.
