From there, I transitioned into celebrity, advertising and fashion photography. Here I gained valuable experience directing talent, collaborating with teams and learning how to use my creativity to solve problems for brands and businesses.

It’s my job to make clients feel comfortable with all aspects of a project. And the best way to do that is by creating a detailed plan. (Even if we decide to deviate from it later.)
Think fast.

The arts are not an exact science. That’s what I love about them. But it also means things don’t always go as planned. As the owner of the production company, the buck stops with me. I have to adapt and make decisions on the fly. Thankfully, my years of experience have taught me how to remain level-headed, even when I’m juggling ten things at once.
