We then built the family around her with the help of two incredible casting directors, Doug Aibel and Stephanie Holbrook.

Casting directors Katja Blichfeld and Jessica Daniels have formed the New York-based casting office Blichfeld + Daniels, Backstage has confirmed. Blichfeld and Daniels met while working as casting directors on NBC's "30 Rock," which is in its final season, and they will take on their first project as a new office with the CW's "Sex and the City" prequel, "The Carrie Diaries." "We really kind of discovered how much we like working with one another," Daniels says. "We have a similar sensibility. The opportunity came up with this show to make it more official and it coincided with '30 Rock' ending. It all fell into place." Blichfeld began her casting career with Jennifer McNamara, who connected her to "30 Rock," and Daniels got her start alongside Avy Kaufman. Daniels has cast two projects for "Sex and the City" co-producer and "Gossip Girl" consulting producer Amy B. Harris, which is how she became connected to "Carrie Diaries.
