CLIENTS
"It was a pleasure to work with Shirley Williams on the She’s Connected by AT&T program. She lead the entire team in producing our video series that captured the journey of our partner women in sports. What I most admired about her expertise was how she developed a rapport with the talent/professional female athletes on set to bring out the best and often very personal stories in their own words. Her vision and attention to detail delivered content that was authentic, inspiring and captivating on every level. We would love to work with Shirley again on future programs."
