ARTIST
DEVELOPMENT SERIES

My Role: Creative Producer

I created SHOT AT JOAN STUDIOS to give emerging and under represented artists the freedom to explore, experiment, and grow. By providing full access to locations, studio space and production resources, we remove the financial barriers that can limit creative exploration.

I open our doors to early- and mid-career artists, producing test, spec, editorial, commercial and music video shoots that help them develop their craft, spark collaboration, and generate content.

Through this series, I help artists bring their ideas to life without client constraints, and amplify their voices, reinforcing my commitment to nurturing a new generation of creative talent.
