* Note: I chose to close down this business to provide more free time for myself and family. It's been amazing, and I will always be a photographer, but just not for hire anymore.

Lola Felli is a wedding stationery and ambiance company. My role with them was that of Project Director, focusing on strategies, plans, and implementation of ideas to get the business off the ground. I managed staff, projects, branding, and marketing (with a focus on tradeshows). My marketing strategy relied heavily on social networking, Internet marketing, and bridal shows (the best way to advertise in the wedding industry when you are new to it). I was also in charge of organization (people, products, documents, software, cooperative efforts, and priorities). My ability to see the big picture and create a harmonious collaborative environment is why I was a success as a Director at Lola Felli, and why they would hire me back in a heartbeat if they decide to expand on their marketing strategy in the future.The skills enhanced at Lola Felli were those involved in wrapping my head around complex business planning ideas, and working quickly and efficiently to bring the most realistic and viable projects to the foreground.
