• I have contributed behind the scenes to numerous high-profile editorial campaigns and advertising activations for leading global publications and luxury brands. My responsibilities spanned production coordination, logistics, vendor management, talent accommodations, editorial support, and on-set execution. While my work was often uncredited in public-facing materials, I played a key role in ensuring on-time, on-brand delivery of shoots and campaign rollouts.
• On the editorial side, I have supported large-scale production efforts for some of the world’s most prestigious publications, including VOGUE, Harper’s Bazaar, Allure, and Home and Country Magazine. My contributions included assisting with on-site logistics, coordinating travel and lodging for creative teams and talent, securing shoot locations and permits, managing wardrobe and prop deliveries, and liaising with agencies and stylists. I also supported internal editorial teams with pre-production tasks such as story research, layout logistics, and set prep.
• I ensured that all production elements aligned with creative briefs, location limitations, brand requirements, and media deadlines. Whether handling vehicle rentals, talent trailers, or day-of production coordination, I maintained clear communication across departments and resolved issues in real time to keep schedules on track.
• On the advertising side, I have helped deliver campaigns for major fashion houses and sportswear brands. I supported campaign execution for Dior, Chanel, Versace, Tiffany & Co., Pandora, and others by organizing high-level logistics, coordinating international shipping of luxury goods, arranging model call times, and managing vendor timelines. I also handled location prep and day-of production needs for promotional shoots, including coordinating with photographers, creative directors, and post-production teams to meet delivery requirements.
• For sportswear and lifestyle brands such as Nike and Reebok, I facilitated ad campaign shoots by scouting locations, managing on-site talent schedules, coordinating custom gear shipments, and ensuring adherence to branding standards. I often served as the bridge between agency producers and on-the-ground crews, allowing for seamless production flow and successful campaign execution.
• I’ve frequently collaborated with stylists, photographers, glam teams, and brand executives to ensure each campaign maintained brand alignment and creative excellence. I’ve also provided on-site troubleshooting support for lighting, set design, scheduling issues, and last-minute changes.
• While not always in the public eye, my role was essential to the polished execution of these campaigns. I provided foundational support that allowed the creative teams to operate at full capacity and meet the high standards expected by luxury and editorial brands. I was often entrusted with sensitive information, product security, and talent confidentiality, requiring strong discretion, professionalism, and adaptability under pressure.
• Key skills used in these roles include vendor management, scheduling, client service, logistics coordination, crew management, and budget oversight. I leveraged tools such as Airtable, StudioBinder, Google Workspace, Frame.io, and Adobe Creative Suite (basic use) to support shoot planning and post-production tracking.
• My experience in this sector underscores my deep knowledge of brand voice alignment, publication protocols, creative operations, and the high-performance standards required in both fashion and media industries. These projects laid the foundation for my long-term success in production, client retention, and luxury brand support.
