Founder & Director

I’m Eki, Founder and Director of Artistes Collective.
A Career Strategist and Coach for Actors and Creatives, I'm passionately committed to empowering people to meet their artistic and professional goals.

I bring a lived understanding of the realities actors and creatives navigate, from my background in the screen and performance industry, and founded Artistes Collective with a clear mission: to represent talent with integrity while fostering a supportive, collaborative and powerful community.
Together with my committed, values driven team, we take a hands on, strategic approach - championing talent, nurturing confidence, and supporting actors to build sustainable, fulfilling careers. And all with fun and ease!
​Eki was a positive force in my acting journey. She not only believed in my potential but consistently supported me throughout the years. As my talent agent, she guided me with professionalism, enthusiasm and understanding. Her passion for nurturing talent, coupled with unwavering belief in my abilities truly made all the difference. Working with Eki was an empowering experience, and I would recommend Artistes Collective to any actor seeking genuine support and guidance. am so grateful for the opportunities you and the team have helped me receive as an actor. I have had some of my best memories being part of such an amazing team and love everything the agency stands for'.
