Running a small business means HR usually lives on the back burner until something goes wrong. I work with owners who are ready to get ahead of it. I'm Shannon Taylor, founder of Avec Coeur HR and a fractional HR consultant with 16+ years of experience, from HR Assistant through HR Director. Before going independent, I directed HR strategy for a respiratory care company with hundreds of employees across California and multiple states building compliance infrastructure, redesigning onboarding from a single day into a five-day program that new hires consistently called the best they'd ever experienced, and leading a company-wide culture initiative that reduced turnover by 70% in one year. I've also worked directly under employment law attorneys in both New York and California, which means I bring a sharper compliance lens than most HR generalists. My consulting clients are small businesses; typically 5 to 25 people who need senior-level HR without the full-time cost. Past projects include multi-state compliance documentation for a luxury transportation company, a complete recruiting system for a real estate investment firm dealing with culture fit issues, California meal waiver compliance for a multi-location service provider, and HR foundation-building for a business navigating its first difficult termination. What I deliver: Employee handbooks and policies (California-compliant, plain language) Recruiting systems: scorecards, interview guides, job descriptions Onboarding design and SOP documentation Compliance reviews and HR audits Fractional HR on retainer: ongoing support, clear deliverables, no surprises I work the same way with every client: I ask questions first, explain every recommendation, and stay involved until things actually land. HR done with you, not at you. If you're a small business owner who's been putting off the HR work you know you need, let's talk!

Hi, my name is Jordan Rodriguez. I'm a photographer, videographer, and have a background in mixing music/audio engineering. I have also created social media marketing campaigns for brands such as Lululemon and Arlo. I am currently based out of Southern California, Los Angeles and Orange County to be exact, but I would be happy to travel for your project! As a photographer, I have a background in lifestyle advertising, interior/architecture, studio, product, landscape and events. I have worked with companies such as COCA-COLA, New Balance, Architectural Digest and many more. I can do HDR/bracketing photography if needed and can retouch as well. I got my start doing events such as weddings/music festivals and since then have branched off to do lifestyle Ad-campaigns, architectural/interior work and much more. I am very confident with my editing skills, whether I am using Lightroom, Photoshop, Davinci Resolve and many more applications. As a videographer, I specialize in architecture, event coverage, weddings, branded content, such as marketing videos, and documentary style films. I have years of experience working alongside full crews as well as working alongside advertising teams, whether it's pre-production, filming or editing. I've shot fashion for clothing companies. I have worked with artists and musicians and love putting my creative set of skills to the test with new projects. I have also created tutorials and testimonials for various clients. As of 2017 I dove more into the world of filming/photographing interior design/architecture where i've grown to really appreciate the keen eye of all types of design. Within the audio field, I have mixed projects for various companies and individuals and can record any audio needed, whether it's out in the field or in a studio. I have access to recording gear as well as editing software, such as Logic Pro and/or AVID Pro Tools.
