Adrienne Poni Colletti

Throughout my career, I have occupied the intersection of design and print. This dual perspective allows me to anticipate the needs of a clients before they even arise. My background includes:

Production-Ready Design: Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, with a deep understanding of file hygiene, smart objects, and preparing art for complex product mockups.

Studio Ownership & Operations: Having owned and managed a studio, I possess a unique "utility player" mindset. I am highly comfortable managing product ordering, coordinating retouching workflows, and ensuring that sets and equipment are optimized for efficiency.

Creative & Technical Synergy: I don’t just move files; I understand the photography lifecycle. I bring a discerning eye for composition and a proactive approach to supporting the retouching process to ensure every image meets brand standards.

I thrive in collaborative, high-vibe environments, but have no issues working alone or remotely.
