"I love bringing people together. And I believe relationships - family, partners, friends, pets, colleagues, acquaintances - are the icing on the cake to this one, extraordinary life."

I’ve always believed that the most profound beauty lies in contrast — softness within structure, stillness in motion, intuition alongside horsepower. That’s how I found myself, a woman rooted in the love for all things, falling in love with a world seemingly built for the opposite: the car industry.

But this didn’t happen overnight.

At first glance, I was introduced into the world of cars by my partner and it felt like everything I wasn’t. Loud. Linear. Technical. Masculine. But that perception, like many first impressions, was just a surface scratch. What I’ve come to realize — and what I’ve integrated into Ellamae Productions — is that the automotive world is rich with stories, memory, legacy, and sensuality. It’s not just about machines; it’s about movement. And I think movement is inherently feminine.

Cars hold the memory of their makers, their drivers, their journeys. They are vessels, not just of metal and gas, but of emotion. Of nostalgia. Of love. And in that, I found a way I could relate to others in this industry.

In a space where so much energy is traditionally expressed through car specs and engine displacements, I found a different way of being — one that honors softer lines, quiet, texture, intention. I started showing up to the car world not to mirror it, but to soften it. To slow it down. To experience its stories in a new way.

And when we allow the feminine to enter — fully, unapologetically — we don’t just drive.

My own storytelling expanded. I began producing events and experiences that blended the essence of story with focus and the people in which the event was based. For some, I incorporated cars into the experiences of the day. It was a way to bring more femininity into the narrative — not as accessories, but as alchemists. I created space for conversations around identity, ancestry, purpose. The vehicles that whisked couples away became a symbol — of freedom, of transformation, of reclamation.

This approach began attracting brands, builders, and clients who got it. Who wanted to see their events through a new lens. Who understood that tapping into the feminine didn’t mean compromising strength — it meant deepening it. Making it multi-dimensional. More magnetic.

My lifestyle is a reflection of this balance. One day I might be producing an event in California's wine-country, wrapped in linen and dust. The next, I’m in Barcelona, co-creating a dining menu with chefs, talking lineage and legacy. But one thing always comes back and reminds me of home; the cabin of car, my home-away-from-home.

To the women (and men) who feel drawn to this paradox — to the scent of jasmine and gasoline — know that there’s space for you here. I've learned the car industry is not just about what’s under the hood or how fast you can go. It’s about the journey. The story. The feeling of movement. The reclamation of space.

And when we allow the feminine to enter — fully, unapologetically — we don’t just drive. We arrive.
