Better Know a Member: Gwen Barker

Gwen Barker is one of Impromptu’s newest members, a producer who recently came to DSM from Chicago. We were going to write this profile up in the the third person, but Gwen wrote about herself so well that we’re just leaving it to her. After you read up on Gwen, you can find her on Twitter at @gDUBen, and on LinkedIn.

“I moved here from Chicago only about 4 months ago, but I’m no stranger to Iowa. I went to the University of Iowa and majored In Cinema and Communication Studies. So, basically I am a Film Geek with a purpose. I always knew I wanted to be a Producer, so I kept working for free until someone hired me to do what I always wanted to do.

I’m a Producer—I love connecting talented creatives with great projects and great clients with talented creatives. All the while I watch the bottom line and cultivate relationships. I have mostly worked in advertising and TV, but did have the opportunity to work on a Sundance winning documentary a year or so ago.

Most recently I have been working with an amazingly talented client called Grasshorse that produces high end animation, design, and technology work…and they are located in Winfield, IA of all places! I’m currently broadcasting their name all over, so that people know that this kind of talent can be found here. I love what the Midwest has to offer.

I am loving Impromptu Studio as my coworking space. Working here offers great company, is affordable, and beats having my dog as company day in day out when I have to work in my home office. I mean, no one interrupts me to let them outside every hour. Or, at least not yet!”
