Can you introduce yourself and tell us a bit about what you do and your industry?

I believe in thinking radically different about the collective good, our planet, & the future. I am committed to fostering positive change and thinking radically differently about the collective good, our planet, and the future. By collaborating with inspired communities, local artists, and dedicated teams, I aspire to create beautiful branding and exciting experiences, implement sustainable systems to contribute to a brighter future for generations, and nurture a world that thrives on the harmony between humanity, technology, and the natural environment.

What motivated you to get a new headshot? How old was your previous headshot?

I try to update my headshot every year. The last good version I had was 2-3 years old.

How did you feel about your old headshot prior to coming to me, and what were you looking for in your new one?

I was fine with my previous headshot, but this year I was looking for something a bit more polished.

In what ways do you think your new headshot has impacted your business, visibility or job search?

It's too soon to tell, but I am more confident when sending people to my site / LinkedIn profile.

Have you received any feedback or comments on your new headshot?

It is more in line with who I am.

How important do you think a professional headshot is for someone in your field?

It's not required, but it is one more touch point and ups the professionalism.

What advice would you give to someone considering getting a professional headshot?

Come prepared with a couple of wardrobe changes.

Were you nervous or uncomfortable with the idea of having your photos taken and if so how was the experience in the end?

Not uncomfortable. I've been on photo shoots before and had an idea of what to expect.

How did you prepare for your headshot session, and do you have any tips for others on how to get ready for theirs?

Picked out 3 changes of clothes, made sure I got a good night's sleep, and wasn't stressed the morning of.

How was your experience working with S72 for your headshot session?

It was good.
