WHAT DO YOU DO?
“I am a consulting producer and I run KRAFTED - a creative production company that I founded that’s focused on generating original content with deeply artistic intent.”
WHAT STEPS DID YOU TAKE TO GET WHERE YOU ARE NOW?
I began a mentorship with the Small Business Administration to learn how to write a business plan, learn the basics of marketing, and get my social media started. Over the years, I made sure to initiate and nurture my professional relationships while doing my best to stay current on advancements in creative operations standards. Also, lots of therapy and inner self-work.
WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON RIGHT NOW?
I'm currently in the process of legally strengthening my company's intellectual property while positioning to elevate our next production.
WHAT'S YOUR STYLE/PERSPECTIVE/TASTE? DO YOU HAVE A PROJECT THAT REPRESENTS THIS?
Style = Glittery Goth Grace Jones
Perspective = Pro-Black & Socialist
Taste = Luxe
WE ARE ALL SLASHIES WITH MULTIPLE SKILLS, WHICH ONE DO YOU WISH YOU COULD DO MORE OFTEN?
I wish I could go back to shooting on film, making prints in the darkroom.
WHAT IS FRUSTRATING YOU RIGHT NOW?
Not a damn thang.
IF YOU COULD HIRE SOMEONE FOR $20/HOUR, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE THEM DO TO MAKE YOUR DAY EASIER?
Audience research!
LET'S BRING OUT THE TIME MACHINE. WHAT DO YOU WISH YOU COULD HAVE TOLD YOURSELF, WHEN, AND WHY?
I wish I could tell myself in high school that it's not about a slick resume, it's not about being the hardest worker in the room, it's about nurturing quality professional relationships
IF YOU COULD TALK TO AN EXPERT TO GAIN MORE INSIGHT ON SOMETHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE ABOUT?
It would be about how to communicate and pitch, to close deals.
WHAT KIND OF OPPORTUNITIES/PROJECTS ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
I'm looking for strategic partnerships. The kind that attract the kind of big bucks that can fully fund multi-faceted creative productions.
WHAT IS YOUR IDEAL CLIENT?
If you need a Consulting Producer in the Los Angeles area and your production is working with a minimum $15K budget, I'm your gal.
