About Krizia Studios | Commercial & Corporate Headshots Photographer in Minneapolis

At 15, Krizia and her family moved to America in hopes of chasing "The American Dream." Armed with nothing more than bare necessities, a comically limited memorized 10-word English vocabulary, and dreams bigger than their suitcases. It was a bold move, tinged with equal parts hope, humor, and sheer determination.This experience, while daunting, instilled in her a relentless work ethic and a boundless imagination—qualities that have become the cornerstone of her work as a commercial photographer.

Krizia's journey to becoming an artist was both unconventional and accidental. She began her career in brain research as a fellow with the National Science Foundation before expanding her expertise in business and marketing at Target Corporation. The pandemic brought an unexpected turn when she lost her corporate job, prompting her to transform a 7-week-old photography hobby into a thriving business. This journey not only uncovered her passion for photography but also defined her life's purpose.

Her unique blend of scientific know-how, business acumen, and creative flair makes Krizia an invaluable asset and a strong creative partner. She excels at crafting stunning visuals for your brand, leveraging her deep understanding of omnichannel strategies (both brick-and-mortar and e-commerce). With a knack for data analytics and a dash of science, Krizia whips up scroll-stopping visuals that not only captivate but also drive sales and effectively convey your brand's message to consumers.

Having lived in both first-world and third-world countries, Krizia's immigration journey has provided her with a masterclass in perspective. Witnessing stark disparities has fueled her determination to defy the odds stacked against her as a minority and a woman.

Krizia Studios embodies her American Dream, realized through creativity, determination, and a unique blend of experiences.
