about me

Hi, I am Mona Lisa.

Ever since childhood, I wanted to be in the entertainment industry. After graduating from Columbia University, I moved to Los Angeles to purse my passion for film. I started as an assistant and worked my way up to a VP position at a prominent production company at Sony Pictures Studios. During my stint in Hollywood, I had the privilege of working on the development and production of many high profile movies like Spider-Man, Venom, Ghost in The Shell, and others all listed under the “Film” tab of this site. 

A few years ago, I moved back to NY to be closer to my family.  Upon my return to NYC, I began working at BBDO – producing commercials, video content, films, and Super Bowl campaigns for brands such as Visa, Snickers, GE, Starbucks, HP, Bud Light, and many others. Given my past experience in the movie business, I also advised on film-industry related projects and sponsorships at BBDO. 

I was then moved to R/GA to be the Senior Content Producer for Samsung North America, the agency’s most prolific client; here, I led numerous projects for Samsung, including the launch of their Galaxy S8 campaign.

In January 2018, I transitioned from the agency world to the brand side in tech: Meta. I currently work as an Executive Producer in Creative X, where I produce campaigns and content for the Meta lines of business like Reality Lab, Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook App, Connect, etc.

On this site, you can review my work in advertising, some of which has been recognized by very nice organizations like Andy, AdWeek, AICP, Cannes Lions, Ciclope, Clio, D&AD, London International, NY Festivals, One Show, and Webby’s.

When not working or traveling, you’ll find me obsessing over Batman, hunting for amazing restaurants, or researching skin-care products.  

Thank you for stopping by!
