Winona Bechtle brings Big Ideas And Good People Together Across Los Angeles

I'm a Los Angeles-based creative strategist, producer, and partnership builder who loves finding ways to bring people, ideas, and communities together for the betterment of a city I love.

For the past decade, I've worked to turn ambitious and often experimental ideas into real experiences. At Bob Baker Marionette Theater, I've helped usher one of LA's most beloved cultural institutions into its next chapter, producing large-scale events, building creative partnerships with brands like Apple, Spotify, Marvel, and Gucci, and helping grow annual fundraising from $10K to more than $3M.

I've also spent time on the agency side, most recently as Head of Business Development at Bald Agency, where I led new business across brand, campaign, digital, and experiential projects. This was a tremendously valuable side quest that helped me give some definition to work and strategies I have organically stewarded for more than a decade.

What ties it all together for me is a love of unexpected connections, the kind that bring different worlds together and feel like they could “only happen in LA.” Outside of work, you'll usually find me in a movie theater or gardening at home in Glendale.
