18 | Choosing Authenticity Over Perfectionism with Claudia Chudzik

Claudia Chudzik is a videographer with a corporate CX background who describes herself as a human design enthusiast with a passion for showcasing people’s souls on video. 

When she left her successful corporate career to start her own business she initially intended to be a CX consultant. In need of photo and video assets for her own business she picked up the camera she had long since forgotten about. As she was creating content for her CX business she realized she was happiest when she was behind the camera and started following what she refers to as “happy crumbs.” As she started doing more and more of what she loved, she pivoted her new business and started pursuing videography full time.
