I’m Mary Grace Sheetz, a San Francisco-based multidisciplinary creative who bounces between media production, concert booking, advertising, and design. I hold a degree in Communications with a minor in Music, Stage, and Sports Production from Colorado State University.
I’ve never outgrown my obsessions with media, pop culture, live music, fashion, and the way people actually connect, understand, and communicate. A lot of what I make still comes from my inner child; her intuition is still the best compass I’ve got.
Always Looking For:
- Instinctual spark of inspiration
- Chance to contribute to something bigger than myself
- Collaboration and a chance to walk away seeing the world differently
- A challenge
What I’ve Been Up To:
Concert Booking:
Currently booking manager for Mermaid Island, an LA-based, female-led punk band. Secure shows and build relationships with venues and promoters to get the band on stage.
Music:
Years of hands-on experience in the live music industry from working at Chicago’s historic Park West.
Digital Advertising:
Digital strategist for CSU’s Rocky Mountain Student Media. Managed cross-platform campaigns and collaborated with clients and creatives to reach audiences across various media and news outlets at CSU.
Photography:
Film and digital. A lifelong practice that started with a small pink Nikon and continues with my Olympus film camera.
Producing:
Founding member and producer of Tree Stump Films, CSU’s PBS-partnered documentary program. Directed DIY: Fort Collins, a short documentary on the local DIY music scene and Blast N Scrap. Also worked as a production assistant on music video sets.
Art:
Ceramic wheel throwing, drawing, painting, collaging, stamp making, and writing. Ongoing practices centered around texture, form, and visual storytelling.
Public Facilitation / Communication:
Served as a facilitator with the Center for Public Deliberation at Colorado State University, guiding community conversations on polarizing topics. With a degree in Communications, I’ve become grounded in the belief that communication is the backbone of creation across media, democracy, and everyday life.
AI:
Creative work in AI image and video generation. Design intern at Frameworx, a Los Angeles-based creative production agency, where I developed visuals for live concerts and events through prompt engineering. One visual was featured in Earl Sweatshirt’s Camp Flog Gnaw set.
Previously worked as an advanced AI data trainer at Invisible, focusing on video captioning for LLM models and bringing my film/video + communications background to create high-quality training data for diffusion models.
