Hi, I am Shopi. I am a business photographer and a no B.S. marketing and design specialist in hospitality. Previously I lived as an event-, restaurant, and hotel manager; parallel to that, I was self-educated to become a business photographer, graphic designer, and digital marketer. In my private life, I am a father, a husband and conscientious chap, who considers himself lucky to living this life. I write professional blogs, mainly about marketing and design topics based on what I would want to read. I share content that I think I would find useful if I was still managing a hospo business in New Zealand.
