Hi, I'm Eri Hawkins! I’m a producer and creative leader with a track record of delivering ambitious, high-throughput projects without sacrificing creative vision. I can translate complex projects into a streamlined and predictable workflow using a mix of careful forecasting, thorough metrics, and the ability to pivot smoothly when needed.

Storytelling is always my North Star. My goal is always to minimize waste and ensure that the maximum number of resources go towards making a better quality show. Whether I’m working with directors, artists, or executives, I bring empathy, clarity, and a calm presence that helps teams stay focused and energized under pressure. My approach is shaped by years of experience managing complex global pipelines, and grounded in a deep understanding of every phase of the animation process.

One of the things I’ve become known for is helping studios solve production challenges at scale. Whether it’s streamlining processes, setting up more efficient workflows, or making sure creative priorities are communicated and followed, I’m always thinking about how to make things better. A smoother process is not only good for the schedule and budget, but for ensuring a great working environment for everyone on the team.

In addition to hands-on producing, I also offer consulting services, from early-phase planning and budgeting to helping teams scale up sustainably or adopt new tools like Unreal Engine or Shotgrid. If you’re figuring out how to get a project off the ground (or back on track), I’m always happy to be a resource!
