Creative Operations Summit Los Angeles 2026

Dare to be Different

Jeff von Spangenberg

Senior Director of Creative Operations

Restoration Hardware

With more than 20 years of leadership experience across commercial photography, post-production, creative technology, and enterprise creative operations, I bring artistic fluency, operational rigor, and business acumen to the creative lifecycle.

I began my career as a commercial photographer in San Francisco, serving clients including Banana Republic, Pottery Barn, and other major Bay Area retailers. In the mid-2000s, I transitioned into post-production and later joined the growing Restoration Hardware, now RH, Creative Production Team, where I helped build and lead RH’s internal post-production agency.

Today, as Senior Director of Creative Operations at RH, I lead enterprise-level efficiency across the in-house creative channel. My work spans asset lifecycle management, production forecasting, workflow design, global localization, creative technology, and cross-functional alignment. As a principal architect of RH’s creative technology stack, I help connect ambitious creative ideas with the systems, teams, budgets, and processes required to bring them to life across an omni-channel landscape.
