We had the good fortune of connecting with Elizabeth Lopez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Elizabeth, what’s the end goal, career-wise?
My career goal is to creatively collaborate with the brands I admire. I aspire to travel internationally with these brands to develop impactful campaigns. It would be amazing to see my work featured in a Sephora store or on a billboard.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My experience as a digital creator has refined my abilities in designing visually appealing flatlays and striking product videos. I am passionate about producing photos and videos that resonate emotionally and align seamlessly with a brand’s vision, motivated by a commitment to transforming creative ideas into reality. It has taken me many years to get to this point in my career and I truly feel as if I’m just getting started. It has been a roller coaster of a journey, I’ve experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows. One of the most challenging aspects of my career has been developing resilience and the ability to bounce back from setbacks. Learning to accept rejection and stay motivated has been essential to my growth.

As a first-generation Mexican American, my greatest desire is to make both myself and my parents proud. I have inherited a strong work ethic from my parents and grandparents. I feel incredibly fortunate to have supportive parents who have always encouraged me to be true to myself and pursue my goals. However, my dedication often leads to perfectionism, which can be both a blessing and a challenge. There are nights when I find myself working until 3 or even 4 a.m, I’m working on figuring out my work/life balance since becoming a full time content creator.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I absolutely love and adore Lolo Wine bar. The vibe in there is top tier, the wine is delicious and the food is always so incredible. Dinner at @kismetlosangeles is 100/10! Ending the night at Button Mash is always a good idea!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Without the encouragement and nonstop support of my husband Michael and my sister Adrianna, I would not be at this point in my life without them.
