EXPERTISE

Communication, production
and digital tools.

Support for a specific task, a complete project or the day-to-day work between them.

01

Communication

Communication strategy and video marketing start with the message, the audience and the purpose of each piece. Services include message development, content planning, organizational communication and project coordination.

A clearer message and a practical plan.
02

Video production
& photography

Pre-production, camera work, photography, drone footage and short-form storytelling for corporate, documentary, branded and social projects. Coverage and deliverables are planned around the brief.

Visual content built around your brief.
03

Editing, motion
& color

More usable content from your footage.
04

Social media
management

Profile setup, content planning, preparation and publishing keep social channels active. Video and content metrics help inform the next round of work.

Consistent activity with less daily coordination.

Websites, e-commerce
& custom systems

WordPress websites, e-commerce and focused custom systems for bookings, PDF generation, contracts and everyday administration. Each project starts with a defined scope and a practical use case.

PRE-PRODUCTION & ON-SET COORDINATION

Pre-production & shot planning.

The brief becomes a visual plan: storyboards, shot lists, production requirements and the sequence of work on set. A shared plan helps connect the intended message with the footage we need to capture.

01 / PLAN

Define the sequence.

Storyboards and shot planning turn the concept into a practical visual reference.

02 / COORDINATE

Prepare the shoot.

Working with production and the assistant director, I align the creative plan with schedules, responsibilities and call sheets.

03 / EXECUTE

Connect plan and result.

On set and in the edit, the planned sequence provides a reference while leaving room for creative decisions.

Organized assets, records and practical workflows.

The connections follow your needs and the tools you already use. We define what should connect, who needs access and what happens next.

Illustrative workflow

CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT

Built around
the task.

Custom code connects the steps that off-the-shelf tools leave apart: forms, records, document generation and the functions a website needs.

A defined task, a working version, testing and a clear handover. JavaScript, HTML, CSS and workflow logic, applied where they are useful.

FILE ARCHITECTURE & MEDIA WORKFLOWS

A place for every file.
A version for every step.

Cloud storage, local drives and physical archives organized around a consistent structure. Clear names, versions and shared folders make material easier to find, review and hand over.

WORKING WITH LUIS02 / THE PROCESS

Clear priorities.
Regular updates.
You stay in control.

Direct communication, an agreed scope and a simple review process. You know what is happening without having to follow every small task.

01

Talk it through.

Tell me what needs attention and what is taking up your time. We define the priorities, deliverables and schedule together.

A clear starting point
02

Let the work move.

Production, updates and coordination follow the plan. You receive progress updates and the questions that need your input.

Useful updates, in plain language
03

Review and approve.

Review the work at agreed stages. Changes are coordinated with you, and publishing follows your approval.

Your business, your decisions

DIGITAL OPERATIONS

What happens
behind the work.

Store administration, practical systems, publishing and team coordination. The tools and processes behind day-to-day digital work.

E-COMMERCE OPERATIONS

Beyond the storefront.

WooCommerce support covers store setup and day-to-day administration: product information, checkout configuration, payment gateway integration and order management.

The workflow connects payment status, order review, fulfillment and customer communication. The scope can include testing checkout, organizing store settings and documenting the process for the team.

PRACTICAL SYSTEMS

Less repetition. More structure.

A booking, a contract and an internal task should not require the same information to be entered over and over. Small, focused systems can connect these tasks around the way a business works.

Projects can cover reservations, PDF generation, contract workflows and administrative records. Together we define what needs to be captured, who needs access and what should happen next.

Bookings · Contracts · PDF Generation · Admin Tools

Simulated interaction · Sample interface

Concept interface with fictitious records. Demonstrates possible workflow structure.

WEBSITE ADMINISTRATION

The work behind the website.

Website administration includes hosting settings, domain records, business email and account access.

This can include working in hosting control panels such as cPanel, configuring mailboxes, reviewing DNS records and coordinating changes with the hosting provider. Scope and access are agreed before changes are made.

SOCIAL MEDIA OPERATIONS

From content to a publishing plan.

A shared content calendar brings together formats, channels, publishing dates, approvals and the assets needed for each post.

Support includes preparing and scheduling content, maintaining social profiles and reviewing platform metrics. The calendar gives the team a shared view of what is being prepared, reviewed and published.

ORGANIZATIONAL COMMUNICATION

Keep the team informed.

Clear communication is part of the work itself. I help organize briefs, responsibilities, project updates, feedback and approvals so people can understand what is needed and what happens next.

Shared files, version control and a clear review process reduce scattered information. The aim is a team that works with the same context, from the first brief to final delivery.

WORKING TOGETHER

Less to coordinate.
More work moving forward.

Content can get stuck between an idea, an edit, a website update and a post that never goes live. I can take responsibility for the parts you need help with and keep them connected.

For a longer project, I can work alongside your team through the stages where you need additional capacity. You get direct communication and an agreed scope of work.
