Hey, I'm Vivian (but you can call me Viv)—a Texas native who began modeling at 13 and touched down in LA at 18. LA's where I grew up and found myself, it holds a special place in my heart. At 22, I traded the runway for high-volume restaurants—a classic 'Hollywood' move.
Navigating the hospitality scene led me to meet my now husband. We've lived in LA, Houston, DC, San Diego, LA again and Austin, where our first kiddo joined the "beautiful mess". Now, we're rooted in Asheville for family vibes.
As a mom, I revived my passion for photography, using my modeling days to guide my clients on style and poses, capturing their authentic selves.
In Austin, I had the opportunity to run operations for a local magazine, giving me the ability to dive deep into the world of —graphic design, client management, marketing and advertising. Now, I freelance, as a social media and marketing manager for local and remote clients.
Hospitality has been my masterclass, delving into front and back of house dynamics and the language of food and drink. Hospitality naturally has a strong customer focus, these skills effortlessly translate into my work—allowing me to take a holistic approach to photoshoots and copywriting.
When not working, I'm in "mom mode", breaking a sweat in the garden or gym. By nature, I am an introvert when I am not working, but always up for creative gigs or genuine connections. With 8 years in marketing and photography, I'm your storyteller with a personal touch.
