Ms. Young faced an immense challenge after her only daughter passed away at the age of 10 from a tragic car accident. Young dealt with various steps of healing and transitioned from attending her daughter’s funeral to re-learning how to walk again on crutches, a process which took close to a year. She eventually returned to her job in the corporate world before discovering fulfillment by helping others pursue their dreams in the entertainment industry.
Ms. Young envisioned starting an advertising and marketing agency in 1996, but it became clear that the Phoenix market was overcrowded in that particular industry decided to follow her second passion; modeling and acting. Fully aware that this industry would also be a challenge due to it’s smaller market size compared to Los Angeles and New York,through hard work and perseverance achieved success with over 30 years of bookings.

We are a one stop-shop for fashion shows, catalog shoots, commercials, films, background extras, social media content & voice-overs”.
