Gina Hessburg
Art Buyer, Producer
People often ask me what it IS that I do, and probably the best answer is “whatever the project requires.” Read these FAQs for the full details.
I am immensely proud of my portfolios, client lists, and recommendations. I keep my cool and am tapped into resources, leveraging them to the best of my ability. This is how I approach jobs. I don’t feel my responsibilities have an end and I do the only thing I know: chip in wherever I can. Over the years clients who work with me have come to expect more than just a producer or art buyer; they get a partner in their creative projects.
Please have a look through my work, and contact me if you have any questions. You can also sign-up for my email newsletter here. I look forward to the opportunity to work together.

DEVON ERICKSEN
Associate Producer
I started my journey into the creative field when I began modeling, which later would lead me to living in New York City, working for some of the world’s biggest clients. It was in front of the camera that I developed a deep appreciation for all the moving parts and people that are intrical in creating a successful and fun production experience. I’m an observer with a refined awareness of my surroundings and a skillset to support getting things done.
When life brought me back to Minneapolis I knew I needed to diversify and took the opportunity to explore production (behind the camera) and start assisting producers. I have been lucky to work with crews who trust in my proactiveness and the ability to work with and orchestrate a team of people to accomplish the same goal.
I have produced fashion editorials with photographer William Clark, along with collaborating on test concepts with photographers Alex Butterfield and Justin Silvis. My 20 year modeling career has provided a foundation for producing and given me a deeper appreciation for the craft, creatives and clients in this fabulously nonstandard field we are in.

Ruth Christianson
Associate Producer
My first experience with production was in theatre as an actor starting professionally at the age of seven, which led me to work in theaters all over the country. I met Gina in 2012 when I was assisting a casting director on one of Gina’s productions. I was hungry to understand the bigger picture and wanted more opportunities. Soon, I started assisting Gina with her productions. I left Minnesota to return to New York City in 2013 for a role in a play and soon found myself working full-time as a talent agent for broadcast and theater actors.
In 2019 I returned to Minnesota with my partner to be closer to family and to support her career. Like many, the pandemic changed plans for us, but the Minneapolis production community welcomed me back and I have been excited to be part of such an amazing industry again. I hold myself to and appreciate the high standards of the people I get to work with.
Currently, I freelance in production coordination and manage all on-set responsibilities for various producers and production companies. My clients include 3M, Purina. Target, AVEDA, and Marvin Windows.
