Artistic Director, Producer and CCO
Rockwell is the founder and director of Lucent Dossier Experience, a "high-concept, steampunk-meets- neotribal", [8] nouveau cirque circus troupe. [9]
Rockwell is a co-founder of The Do Lab, [10] an event production company responsible for the music festival Lightning in a Bottle which she co-founded and produced from its inception in 2004 - 2016. [11] She invited artists and guests to her highly curated stages and custom designed immersive areas making LIB the first transformational festival to emerge out of the music festival scene. [12] [13] [14] [15]
Rockwell's performance experience includes lead singer and vocals, circus arts, dance, aerial arts, fire performance, live original music, and vocals. [16] She is also a music producer.

Early life and career
As a young woman, Rockwell lived in New York City, where she produced Lunatic Fringe, a monthly open mic poetry slam.
She toured internationally with Madonna, helping to create some of her most iconic looks influencing millions of fans worldwide. [18]

In the early 2000's Rockwell formed and performed in two 60's inspired electro-pop bands, VOXBOX and Willpilot.
Launching her directing career into the spotlight, Rockwell directed the performance portions of Panic! at the Disco's VH1 award-winning video "I Write Sins not Tragedies", as well as the international sold out concert tour that followed the video's success. [4] However the band did not get the chance to thank her or almost anyone when their acceptance speech was interrupted by Kanye West, something he also did to Taylor Swift, [19] She directed The Duhks' video "Fast Paced World", [20] [21] [22] and Mötley Crüe's last world tour with Aerosmith [9]
