Background Highlights:

In her early days, Fitz worked her way up through the production ranks of advertising and funded her first directorial works by producing commercials. It was there she met Michael Williams and David Collins who asked her to come on board the development and producing teams for an unscripted show they were pitching. Their pitch turned into a green-light for a pilot for the ground-breaking Bravo series, QUEER EYE. Her next venture into unscripted was working with Collins and Williams on their second series where she developed and eventually show ran 104 episodes of the YA make-over show for ABC Family and Disney called KNOCK FIRST. Her follow-up was co-creating, directing and showrunning the fashion series XCESS/ACCESS. Additionally, Fitz has directed multiple award-winning scripted shorts, commercials, and feature documentaries.
