Creative Director Up Close Blog
Welcome to Creative Director Up Close, where I give you full access to my fun, amazing, chaotic, occasionally brilliant, and definitely weird mind as a creative director and entrepreneur. Running a video production company for private schools, non-profits, and businesses isn’t just lights, cameras, and action—I often find myself navigating the current market, relationships, stress, crazy ideas, and a stream-of-consciousness monologue. This blog series is your one-way ticket to the insights, challenges, and wins that come with the territory.
Now, I’m not here to tell you what to do or what’s right or wrong, but I do believe in sharing the good, the bad, and the often bizarre experiences that come with being a solo entrepreneur, especially in the content creation space. So, buckle up, buttercup, for the exciting, messy, and fulfilling world of a creative director and entrepreneur.
