Her first paid writing credit came in 1999 with the MTV original film Holding Patterns, followed by work on the TV series Undressed. After pitching a script inspired by Outside magazine's "Surf Girls of Maui" article, she was hired by director John Stockwell to write Blue Crush, a film that she described as exploring the tension between femininity, athletic ambition, and romantic fulfillment. Her television portfolio expanded to include Cashmere Mafia and the ABC Family series Switched at Birth, where she served as creator and executive producer. In 2012, Weiss won the Gracie Allen Award for Outstanding Producer for Switched at Birth; the series itself received a Peabody Award in 2013.
