con todo - founder | Creative Direction, Strategy & Content

A social-first creative playground

Overview

Con Todo Studio is my personal ceramics brand and creative playground — a space where I actively test ideas, formats, pacing, and storytelling approaches in real time.

Because I own every part of the process, Con Todo functions as a live lab for understanding what actually works on social: how people respond to process, voiceover, on-camera presence, pacing, and tone — and how those signals translate into growth, saves, and follower conversion.

The insights I gain here directly inform how I coach founders and creators, shape content strategy, and guide performance-driven decisions for client work.

My role

- Founder and creative lead

- On-camera talent and voiceover

- Content strategy and experimentation

- Filming, editing, and posting across platforms

- Visual identity and brand voice

- Cross-platform testing and analysis

Strategy

Rather than chasing trends aggressively, Con Todo is built around intentional experimentation.

I use the brand to test:

  • how slow, tactile processes perform in fast social feeds

  • when voiceover adds clarity vs when visuals alone carry

  • how founder-led, on-camera content impacts trust and conversion

  • what drives saves, shares, and follower growth — not just views

  • how the same piece of content behaves across platforms

This approach allows me to isolate what works, refine it, and then apply those learnings when directing or coaching other creators.

Results

Accounts grown to over 17K followers | Multiple videos surpassing 250K–1M+ views | Strong follower conversion relative to views | Clear performance patterns that inform future content decisions

This is where theory becomes practice.
