Creative, bilingual and highly organised professional with experience spanning Airbnb hosting, photography, office management and events.
As the owner and lead photographer of Lenka Wills Photography, I have been managing all aspects of a small business, including client relationships, bookings, marketing and day-to-day operations.

I am friendly, reliable and proactive.
I take pride in delivering high standards of service both in photography and my hosting role.
