About

As the founder of Luce Studio Collective, I provide bespoke operational, strategic, and lifestyle partnerships designed to support high-capacity leaders with the right blend of precision, intuition, and calm execution. My background spans executive operations, systems design, project and event management, and creative support. I’ve spent years serving as a trusted right hand to a CEO, leading cross-company initiatives, producing high-touch events, managing leadership programming, supporting large-scale international travel, and guiding brand and content development. At Luce Studio Collective, I bring this experience into a refined, tailored model of support where each partnership is designed around the unique rhythm, needs, and goals of the leader I’m working with. Whether you need a strategic partner to anticipate priorities, a systems architect to streamline operations, or someone to manage the details of your projects, events, and lifestyle logistics, I help create space for you to operate in your zone of genius. If you’re building something meaningful and want support that feels grounded, intuitive, and deeply aligned, I’d love to connect. https://lucestudiocollective.com/
