A multidisciplinary artist with decades of creative leadership across industries, Sallie is known for unabashedly embracing a creative life.
As a trauma-informed, neurodiverse creator, Sallie approaches coaching and creative collaborations with her love for celebrating everyday magic, resilience, and a desire to create more space for playing and exploring. Her unique, neurospicy, detail-oriented passion for storytelling with style has delighted audiences and forged strong partnerships behind and in front of the camera.
As a freelance creative, Sallie has worked for Sundance, Facebook Business, as a stylist for folks like Kamala Harris, Katie Couric, Ashley Biden, and astronaut Kay Hire, and on projects for Netflix, HBO, Smithsonian, Fortune 100 Companies and many, many others.
After graduating with a BFA in fine arts and film and spending few years focused on painting and performing as a singer/songwriter, Sallie embarked on a life-changing one-way-ticketed journey across Europe before returning stateside and creating a successful freelance career in the film industry as a member of SAG and IATSE.
In 2020, she created Moonlight Detective as a platform to further her own work and the work of likeminded and marginalized creatives.
Sallie's recent film work includes Moon Eyes (2020), a low-light short she wrote, directed, and plays the lead role in, which was a semi-finalist at Rhode Island Film Festival, and Why I Got My Covid-19 Vaccine, a series of shorts she wrote and directed for the CDC. She is the co-creator of Balloon Ballroom, a monthly live comedy variety show featuring diverse queer- and femme- led clown, skit, and standup performances in LA.
Sallie lives in Los Angeles, where she enjoys iced jasmine tea, taking 120 film photos with an old Holga, sewing her own dresses, and is three volumes away from owning a complete set of Nancy Drew books.
