Lizzy Weiss
Creator/Executive Producer/Writer, ABC Family's "Switched at Birth"

Lizzy Weiss is the creator and executive producer of ABC Family's groundbreaking drama, "Switched at Birth." Weiss' inspiration for the show came in part from her own life: She studied sign language in college, and she thought of the "switched" premise while pregnant with her daughter and already a mother to an 18 month old son, wondering what it would be like to find out that the child she had raised was not in fact her own.

Prior to "Switched at Birth," Weiss wrote pilots for ABC, FOX, WB, CW, MTV, E, N, Lifetime and HBO. She also wrote the surf-girl hit film, "Blue Crush," and has written features for Paramount, Universal, MGM, MTV and Disney. She received the Gracie Award in 2012 for her work on "Switched at Birth."

Weiss lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Dan, and their two children, Zane and Imogen.
