“Jackie came in with a clear plan laid out, but was flexible enough with that plan to take advantage of unanticipated opportunities that presented themselves. She’s focused on arriving at a specific goal, but not at the peril of producing a quality end product. Jackie knows what she wants, but also is interested in hearing from the crew and participants and implementing ideas they propose.”

— Courtney Hermann, Boxcar Assembly

“It was such a pleasure to work with Jackie (and her team). We’re a small non-profit and the idea of making a video was a bit daunting. Jackie was great to work with – her expertise in producing our video was in valuable. She was patient, helped us understand the process, guided us in making cost effective decisions, and effortlessly pulled all of the pieces together. The resulting video is a great success! As a matter of fact, Jackie just produced 2 more videos for our organization. ”

— Irma Murauskas, Oregon Primary Care Association
