MEET DEVON
Devon is an LA-based impact producer, strategy consultant & event producer. She's led the campaigns for several documentaries, including The First Step, which follows Van Jones as he attempts to bring bipartisan advocates and politicians together in order to pass a landmark criminal justice bill, and Undivide US, which speaks to the root causes of toxic polarization and how communities can discover the humanity in our differences. Additional films include Hulu's I Am Greta (intergenerational climate action), The Farmlink Project's Abundance (food waste/food insecurity), and Indican Pictures' Life & Life (criminal justice reform/redemption).
Devon's specialties within impact production include building strong partnerships, coordinating impactful events and film discussions, and providing creative marketing approaches to film campaigns and audience engagement.
Devon was formerly the Project Coordinator at the Skoll Center for Social Impact Entertainment at UCLA, where she co-organized events such as Skoll’s Spark Change Summit, a day-long event for impact-focused filmmakers, and a fully accessible screening of the Oscar-nominated film 'Feeling Through' for LA's DeafBlind community.
Devon was a Board Member of Young Entertainment Activists and an associate producer for their virtual 2020 Hollywood Digital Climate Summit. Her workshop "Documenting the Climate Crisis" focused on how documentary filmmakers can be successful in creating social impact and changing climate policy through their stories and adjacent impact campaigns. Prior to that, Devon worked in the talent department at The Gersh Agency.
Outside of work, her interest in social impact coincides with her passion for service, particularly with the issues of homelessness and mental health. She is a volunteer with Feed the Streets LA.
