Shel has never categorized herself as ‘the norm.’ She graduated from the University of Cincinnati with dual majors in Management and French. She then began her career as an international project manager and tech enthusiast with a major U.S. bottling company. After a few years, residing in four different countries and experiencing a blossoming pivot to makeup artistry, Shel was introduced to the world of production. Unaware of her eclectic and unorthodox background, a client recognized her ability to effortlessly lead and oversee their projects and asked for her help. Thus, a ‘producer’ was born, and the rest is history.

Known for her “can-do” attitude, calming spirit, and infectious smile, Shel Burks and The Wall Productions have enjoyed a global reputation as solid, reliable partners for over 20 years. The Wall Productions is an inclusion-driven production agency that uplifts a robust roster of best-in-class directors, stylists, photographers, and artists.
