Biography

Dana’s career path evolved from a series of interesting events. Firmly planning to become a physician, she sat next to a production company owner at a dinner party during her senior year in college, and the rest, as they say, was history. With dueling degrees in communication and biology, she started as a PA for an animatic production company and grew into an Emmy Award-winning producer, production manager, director of vfx + post-production, and onto leadership roles within the industry.
Dana served as Managing Director and EP of the award-winning creative studio PMcD Design for many years. She followed that experience by leading a variety of teams, including a digital content start-up, Oprah’s Traveling Lifestyle event, SYFY Comic Con Strategic Partnerships, and US Managing Director of global content agency EDISEN.
The move to Lava Studio reunites Bonomo with Lava President Robert Kirkpatrick, who worked together early in their careers. While she has engaged in several disciplines, she always finds her way back to her passion – working with creative and design talent.
To mark a milestone birthday, Dana began entering sprint triathlons with other moms, where they quickly learned that laughing and finishing without needing medical attention is way more fulfilling than actually competing.
