Videos that feel like advice from a friend.And sell like an ad.

Most people forget that a video has one job: to sell. That’s where I start. I’m Joanna, a mom and UGC creator. I film honest, vertical videos for family, wellness and premium travel brands, from boutique hotels to business-class flights.

My approach

Reach earns attention. A story builds desire.

Many brands already have beautiful visuals and a loyal audience. What’s often missing is one moment: the one where the viewer understands why this product was made for them. That moment is what I work on.

Instead of showing everything, I pick one feature that captures the character of the product, like “folds with one hand” or “won’t leak in your bag”. I tell it calmly, with an eye for detail, the way a trusted friend would recommend it.

01

One feature

One idea the viewer will remember and repeat.

02

Proof on screen

The product in a real scene, not a line from a brochure.

03

A natural close

A calm invitation to buy, not a hard sell.

About me

A mom who actually uses what she recommends.

I’ve been making Reels about motherhood and healthy living for years. Two of them passed 370K views, because I know what stops the scroll: honesty, pace and the very first second.

Day to day I show motherhood unfiltered: the kitchen, walks, chaos and small hacks. That’s why my videos feel like real life, not an ad, and why they work.

I record natively in Polish, German and English, so brands in Poland, Germany and English-speaking markets get a video that sounds like it was made by a local.

UGC concept · premium brand

The first bike a toddler fell for on her own.

  • Light enough that you’re not lugging it
  • Great design
  • We use it every day
  • Holds its value and is easy to resell
