Inspired by the powerful connection between people and spaces, I strive to leverage my creative skills and communication strategies to create outstanding experiences for clients and contribute to the growth of businesses. In my dual role as Managing Director at Street Studios and New Business Developer at Jacaranda Films, I had the opportunity to marry my passions and foster a supportive and engaging environment for the teams to achieve their full potential. Sustainability is my core value, influencing my business approach and encouraging conscious practices, mainly through my interest in circular economy. Curious by nature, I love learning and developing my knowledge of purpose-driven business further.
