During the course of her career, she has worked with auteurs including James Cameron, Darren Aronofsky, Robert Rodriguez, Brian DePalma, Paul McGuigan, and The Soska Sisters. And she has done work for a range of platforms, including film, TV, commercials, mnemonics, VR, installations, and immersive concerts.
