Post-college, Savannah blossomed as Spotify's Jr. Writer for the ¡Viva Latino! Video Playlist writing short docu-style content for artists such as Ricky Martin and Demi Lovato. Soon after, she landed in CAA's TV Scripted department under Tony Etz and later served as the right hand to Jenni Konner where she grew in Development. Savannah most recently spent four years at Jordan Peele's Monkeypaw Productions as a Jr. Exec, Development Coordinator where she was instrumental in the naming of, curation, and production of The New York Times Best Seller Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror Edited by Jordan Peele. She was also the Associate Producer for Ariel Zengotita's short film Imago, one of the No Drama program's short film selections in partnership with Toronto International Film Festival and Universal Pictures.

In May 2025, Savannah began acting as her own producer entity, signing on as an EP to Cosmo Brusa Zappellini's experimental documentary short Even Now, an official selection of the Loft Film Fest and Big Bear Film Festival, and the first short film under her own banner, Antiko. Savannah's boutique arthouse production company, Antiko, cements her commitment to the intersection of literature, photography, film, and immersive experiences.
