About Me

Late bloomer.
Early riser.
All business.

I'm Shay — a Gen X woman who spent her twenties and thirties being the person friends called before buying anything: the skincare, the handbag, the "does this actually work" text at 11pm. Turns out that instinct has a name now. It's UGC.

I'm new to this industry, not new to living in it. Two decades of real purchases, real routines, and real opinions are the portfolio most creators are still trying to fake. I bring the discipline of someone who's built things before, and the curiosity of someone starting fresh.

"I'm not new to living — I'm new to getting paid to talk about it."

03Why UGC?
ShayMeshea

Why UGC?

The camera roll sells
better than the billboard.

People trust people. A polished ad campaign tells you a product is good. A real person, filming in real lighting, showing how she actually uses it — that tells you it's true. Brands aren't chasing perfection anymore. They're chasing proof.

Trust over polish

Audiences scroll past studio ads without blinking. They stop for content that looks like it came from a friend's phone, not a boardroom.

Built for the feed

Platforms are built to reward native, unpolished content. UGC isn't the workaround to the algorithm — it's what the algorithm was designed for.

A voice brands don't have

Every brand has a marketing team. Very few have a Gen X woman's honest, lived-in perspective — the one her audience already trusts.

05The Approach
ShayMeshea

Strategies

How a piece of content gets built.

No guesswork, no wasted revisions. Every piece follows the same process — because consistency is what makes a creator easy to work with twice.

01
Discover the brand
I learn the product, the audience, and the goal before a single frame is shot — what's being sold, and to whom.
02
Find the honest angle
I find the true reason I'd actually use this — that's the hook. Manufactured enthusiasm doesn't perform; genuine reaction does.
03
Shoot with intention
Natural light, real spaces, minimal setup. The goal is footage that feels caught, not staged.
04
Edit for the platform
Pacing, captions, and format are cut specifically for where the content is going to live — not one-size-fits-all.
05
Deliver, then iterate
Every project ends with a clear look at what performed, so the next one starts one step ahead.
