2022-2023 Team Lead, Fashion Photography, Zalando Studios Berlin GmbH, Germany

As a mid-level C6 creative producer team lead, I solely managed all model and accessory photography, producing over 1,000 product images daily, driving the operation to ensure the efficiency of content production in producing such a high-volume, while also maintaining high-quality fashion and lifestyle photography at the Zalando Studios in Berlin.

“Dru is a natural leader and collaborator, with a positive, friendly and supportive attitude, motivating the team on a daily basis. Dru and I worked collectively on Best of the Month presentations for the photo and styling teams showcased across all stakeholders and production teams at Zalando Studios. She has a keen eye for detail and creativity, sharing her knowledge of current trends, brands, technical skills and fashion photography to drive the teams forward.”

Zalando and Highsnobiety combined content forces and such subject matter was delivered as an additional workflow for my production photography teams. In this sector I helped transfer Highsnobiety from the elevated team to PDP team. 

It was essential to create a universal simplified setup that can be used by my directs.

During all processes I brought both the motivation and the technical support for positive, clear communication and shared operational dedication.
