Hi Folks, I'm Lauren Mentzel, a passionate artist with a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and a career that blends both artistic vision and technical expertise. I bring to you you, Lauren Mentzel Art Glass. Please have a look around and let me know if you are interested in commission work? Specific colors or designs?

A little bit about me: I am a highly skilled and dynamic Art Director with over 20 years of experience in video and live event production, spanning feature films, commercials, corporate videos, training modules, and large-scale live events. My passion for the creative and technical worlds of video production and live event management has only deepened over the years. This is not just a career for me—it's my calling. I am excited to bring my extensive experience to your team, as I am always eager to contribute to innovative and high-impact projects.

Most recently, I spent over three years working with Accenture Productions, where I have provided critical production support in various roles, including studio management, floor director, camera operator, grip, teleprompter operator, and most recently, Junior Technical Director. My work at Accenture has honed my ability to manage both live and recorded video and audio projects, collaborating with diverse teams locally in San Francisco as well as remotely through proprietary online systems.

One of the most fulfilling experiences of my career was my time at Pixar Animation Studios, working on the animated feature Monsters, Inc. My love for design, art, color, and storytelling was reinforced through that project and has been a guiding force throughout my work in the video and event production industries. I thrive on blending creativity with technology and using both to create memorable, visually compelling experiences.

My background spans a wide array of roles within the production world, including Art Director, Prop Master, Set Decorator, and various technical positions such as Executive Teleprompter, Junior Video Switcher, Junior Videographer and GRFX Lead. Additionally, my experience working with top-tier clients like Gavin Newsom, Sting, and leadership at companies such as Salesforce, Google, Adobe, Pixar, Cisco, Accenture, and Oracle. These experiences have refined my ability to deliver under pressure while maintaining the highest standards of creativity and professionalism.

I thrive in the world of art and production. Please, always remember that you are LOVED! Help spread these words with my Objet de Arte- sacred dichroic glass hearts.
