Meet Rose Hayes.

A New Yorker by birth (not the NYC kind, but the northwestern-basically-Canadian kind), I spent my childhood writing plays with my siblings and friends. Upon discovering an old camcorder, I quickly dubbed myself their director, so it’s no surprise that I ended up at DeSales University and graduated with my bachelor’s in television and film.

After spending time freelancing in commercial production and working as a marketing coordinator, I settled down with Forge3!

I come from a large family (three brothers, six sisters, and a few dozen nieces and nephews), so managing chaos comes naturally. If you ask any of my younger siblings—or even my older ones—they’ll tell you I’ve been project managing (telling them what to do) my whole life.

To-do lists are some of my favorite things, but I promise I enjoy things other than sticky notes and organizing my planner. When I’m not working, you’ll most likely find me baking, experimenting in the kitchen, crafting with whatever I can find lying around, or buying more plants for my apartment!
