Platt speaking with fans at the 2016 Saboten Con

In 2004, Platt and husband Yuri Lowenthal founded Monkey Kingdom Productions, an independent film production company which has produced two feature films including Lowenthal's Tumbling After, and mockumentary Con Artists. They also created a live-action web-series Shelf Life about a group of superhero figurines; the series ran for four seasons on YouTube. Their comedy series Whatta Lark garnered seven IAWTV nominations and won Best Male Performer in a Comedy for lead actor Christopher Graham.

In 2018, Platt and Lowenthal were asked to give a TEDx Talk for TEDxUCSD for the May 2018 TEDx Conference: When Bubbles Burst. Their topic was Your Life Story: Using Story Structure to Navigate Crisis.

Platt and Lowenthal co-authored a book called Voice-Over Voice Actor: What It's Like Behind the Mic and follow up Voice-Over Voice Actor: The Extended Edition, which gives tips and information for aspiring voice actors. Platt also has authored several other books including kids' bedtime book Relax Your Toes, an interactive journal of a traveling Romani girl Zartana, and dystopian YA novel Prep School for Serial Killers.
