Digital & Theatrical Operations Expert
Leading at the Intersection of Daring Creative Projects and Emergent Tech.
Who I am.
Hi, I’m Zach. I’m a radically curious Creative Producer, General Manager, and Systems Strategist based in Louisville, Kentucky. For over a decade, I’ve led daring creative projects across live performance, immersive media, and emergent technology—bringing structure to artistic chaos and clarity to complex workflows.
I specialize in bridging artistic vision and operational strategy—whether managing multimillion-dollar budgets, negotiating complex contracts, or architecting systems that support artists and cross-functional teams. My background spans theater, XR, Web3, and collective bargaining, and I thrive in spaces where creative work intersects with innovation, values, and risk-taking.
What I do.
I design the systems that bring bold creative work to life.
My work lives at the intersection of storytelling, technology, and operations—blending physical and digital realities across live performance, XR, and blockchain-driven experiences. I’ve built artist-first contracting frameworks, led union negotiations, and created operational infrastructure that enables creative teams to thrive.
As a producer and translator between technical and artistic collaborators, I turn abstract ideas into actionable plans. Whether I’m guiding an XR stage production, building out a procurement system, or supporting a DAO-backed arts initiative, I bring alignment, clarity, and care to every stage of the process.
How I can help.
I help mission-driven teams and creative innovators:
Develop systems and workflows that support bold, unconventional projects
Draft, negotiate, and manage contracts that protect creative vision and support equity
Translate between artistic, technical, and executive stakeholders to align strategy and execution
Lead cross-functional project management for live, digital, and hybrid productions
Onboard artists and vendors with clear, human-centered processes
Explore emergent technologies (XR, Web3, AI) and design frameworks that make them usable
Build protocols and experiences that blur the lines between stage, screen, and everything in between
I’m based in Kentucky, work remotely, and am available to travel for key moments that require in-person presence.
