Haley Fonfa is an artist and curator based in Los Angeles, working as a set operations production assistant on NBC's American Ninja Warrior Season 13. Previous work experience on the set of Grey's Anatomy developed her skills in Set Design, Set Painting, Set Construction, Set Decoration/Dressing, Graphic Design, and Illustration. Meeting strict deadline requests and extremely quick turnarounds, she has worked directly with various departments including Construction, Grip/Electric, Paint, Props, Special Effects, and the Production Office. Additionally, Fonfa received her Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, Individualized Studies in Illustration and Painting with a minor in Chinese Language at Loyola Marymount University in 2019.
Outside of the TV/Film production world, Fonfa serves as the Development Manager & Creative Marketing Specialist of the Debbie Allen Dance Academy (DADA), a 501(c)3 non profit organization, giving her the opportunity to thoroughly demonstrate skills in Public Relations, Global Fundraising, Integrated Digital Marketing, and Event Production. Prior to the professional work force, Fonfa self curated art exhibitions with visual artists, vendors, and performances with a portion of proceeds donated to a non-profit organization. From budgeting to marketing to overall event coordination, these events truly formed the organizational foundation she uses to this day. The most recent event, prior to COVID-19, showcased hundreds of different artists, dozens of live performances, reached over 20,000 RSVPs and was featured in various Los Angeles publications from LA Weekly to DoLA.
Fonfa's personal art work reflects the fine arts foundation she obtained through schooling and further self studying. From portrait to landscape studies, she is constantly refining her skills as she believes an artist always has the power to grow and evolve. Using distinct shapes and vivid color to thoroughly explain characters, their personalities and surroundings, Fonfa depicts various character poses, expressions, turnarounds and environments through programs such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Procreate.
