During our time working together, Miranda built the Production and Creative Services department at kate spade new york from one individual – Miranda herself – to a team of seven supporting a 34 person creative team executing a $15M+ production budget. Miranda oversaw art production, print production, 3D/Event production and creative services. She is a very strong manager, and she hired a team from the ground up, sourcing and identifying the right talent and culture fits and then growing and developing this team into an integral part of the marketing organization. Miranda has natural leadership instincts and intuitively knows how to best motivate individuals toward success for the brand and company, as well as personal success. She is very well loved by her team as she allows them to own their role and accountabilities while always being at the ready to remove barriers and ensure their success. Given the number of shoots we do in a given month at kate spade new york, I liken Miranda to an orchestra conductor. Her ability to build an accurate budget and appropriate timeline for all the levels of work involved are second to none. She has phenomenal contacts, is a great assessor of both the needs of a project and of the perfect talent to bring the concept to reality. Miranda has been my right hand for almost two years. She is a pleasure to work with personally, and an integral part of my leadership team and our creative team. I highly recommend Miranda Kendrick and wish her continued success.
As the Founder of Camilla Lowther Management, I represent an extensive list of the fashion industry’s most influential stylists, set designers, photographers and artists. The artists on my roster are well known to Miranda and she to many of them. Miranda has worked with several of my photographers and stylists including Venetia Scott, Amy Henry, Emma Summerton and Joanna Lacey. Miranda is well known in her field as a thoughtful, shrewd and collaborative Producer with excellent taste and influence. She is instrumental in elevating the business relationship between artist and clients, which brings progress and opportunity to the industry. We first connected in 2004 in Paris at Le Book and have continued to meet at these events around the world since including London, New York and Los Angeles. I am happy to recommend Miranda as a Director and Producer with sustained acclaim in the field who has made significant contributions to her area of expertise.
Miranda is a leader who truly inspires passion in her team. It's important for a department to feel motivated to work hard and do their best and that can't happen without motivation and passion from their Manager. Miranda is the only teacher I have had who made me excited about the possibility of making good work and how we can impact the final product. Everyone who has ever interviewed with her or spent 5 min talking about art production comes out of it inspired and wanting to work for her.
Miranda is a consummate professional, through and through. She combines an extremely discerning eye with a vast, encyclopedic knowledge of the visual world that surrounds us. When you factor in her relentless drive to find the right solution for the challenge, you get someone who doesn't merely fulfill the assignment, but pluses the work and takes it to a new level. And while "relentless" could suffice in describing the thoroughness of her work, a more accurate descriptor would be "care". She cares, in all the best senses of the word. Because care is about heart, and you can't accomplish things that are unique and special without having the heart to overcome the myriad of financial, rational, subjective and/or random reasons that keep amazing work from seeing the light of day.
Miranda is that rare blend of creativity, strategic thinking and world-class production knowledge. Our team had the good fortune of partnering with her on a large project, and her expertise and hard work were an invaluable help in achieving our creative goals. There are few people in the industry that have the breadth of knowledge Miranda has. Especially when coupled were with the creativity in which she wields it.
Miranda rocks. Quite simply, she knows her stuff, gets the job done, works hard, loves what she does, and is never afraid to give you her professional opinion on things (which, I might add, is almost always right). And best of all, she's an absolute pleasure to have around. Half your luck if you ever get a chance to hire her.
My time as a producer can easily be hallmarked by "pre-Miranda" and "post-Miranda". If anyone should ever be so lucky to find themselves a student under her, be assured that you'll leave infinitely better than you thought you'd ever be. I miss working with her every day.
I write to urge you to hire this double-extra rad producer woman named Miranda Kendrick. Whoever picks her up will prosper. You’ll basically find yourselves carrying paper grocery bags full of cash to the bank every day, and you’ll have no idea why. It’s Miranda
God bless Miranda’s eyeballs. They see all the right things. They see the right people to bring things to life in the right way. I want my ideas to date her eyeballs and birth beautiful babies that take after their mother. It’s rare for someone to be able to have good taste in such a wide range of styles. I consider Miranda as much a creative as any of us. If I ever get blinded by some unfortunate accident, I hope my new eyeballs come from Kendrick stem cells.
Miranda is a wonderfully talented personality, one that everyone falls in love with. Her commitment to projects is astonishingly impressive and she goes out of her way to please everyone involved; Creatives, Accounts, Artists and Clients. Anyone who is lucky enough to work closely with Miranda will benefit is some manner, whether it be intellectually, financially, or famously, she will most definitely make you look good. If you are ever as lucky to be in the position of adding Miranda to your everyday functions, do it, don’t even think about just do it.
Miranda is fantastic - she is a rare talent, she makes stuff happen. She is smart and nothing is impossible to her.
Miranda is one of life’s doers. She gets things done. And gets them done well. She is extremely passionate about her work and that shows in everything she does. If there’s a new photography technique out there, she’ll find it. If there’s a new director out there, she’ll bring them in. She gets things done. Miranda, quite simply, is a great person to have around.
Miranda is an extremely creative producer that always surprised me. She is a pleasure to work with and I miss her and her enthusiasm.
No rousing rhetoric needed here. Miranda is enthusiastic, trustworthy, hardworking and a breath of fresh air.
