I, Ashley Rodriguez, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents thirty hours of work. (Click to view my hours logged)

For my first independent component, I teamed up with Victoria Nakai to create a small business. We put in a lot of time and effort into this collaboration. Our brand was created with the intention of empowering females and providing products that we stand by.
Apart from assisting in actual production, and basically all aspects of this project, I mainly focused on running and promoting our social media accounts. 

I think teaming up with Victoria really allowed me to explore my topic first hand. I realized how difficult it is to start a business from scratch and create a marketing plan that effectively represents your brand. I experienced essential components of creating a business and that really taught me that you must fully understand your brand in order to effectively create content without compromising your brand's personality.
From business meetings, supply trips, production days, and photo shoots, I can proudly say that this is only the beginning. We have so much more planned for this brand and I hope it continues to be a learning experience I can benefit greatly from.
