Our Team
Michelle Lovett
Owner & Executive Producer
Practically raised at Lovett Productions, Michelle, daughter of Lovett founders Linda and Marc, took every opportunity to immerse herself in all aspects of her parents’ business. As a child, she accompanied and assisted her mom on film shoots for clients. By the time she was a teenager, Linda and Marc offered Michelle various jobs at Lovett, further empowering her and her growing interest in the business. These included cold calling prospective clients, organizing files, helping plan business trips, and even going on casting calls to weigh in on the hiring of performers for Lovett entertainment events.
After graduating high school, Michelle pursued some of her other interests. She obtained a Bachelor’s degree in theater, a Master’s degree in social work, and a postgraduate program in psychotherapy. While taking time to pursue careers in those fields, Michelle always remained involved with the business her parents built. With every project and event, she made it her mission to learn and soak up all the knowledge she possibly could from her parents. Over the years, Michelle’s roles at Lovett included administrative management, creative consultation, directing, and producing. In 2014, her parents officially passed her the baton, making her owner and executive producer of Lovett Productions.
Today, Michelle continues to grow the business in NYC and upstate New York by building teams with vision and expertise in creative content development and multi-media conference production. She makes it a point to bring people together who share her passion for creating meticulously crafted and expertly run experiences for her clients.
