Meet Itzel Montero | Content creator
We had the good fortune of connecting with Itzel Montero and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Itzel, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I started my business because I have a passion for videography and exploring new places. I have always loved to discover new places therefore I decided to start capturing unique places around my hometown and share them on my social media platforms. I am fortunate to live in city where new restaurants and stores are always opening up. I am fascinated by places with a unique aesthetic and bright colors therefore I always keep my eye on places such as that. I being recording every place that captures my attention for a few years now and recently decided to turn it into a full time job.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I have always had an artistic eye so I decided to create art throught video. I like to capture the essence of a place. I like to highlight why you should visit that place and what it is that makes it stand out. Content creation is a very competitive field and sometimes is hard to stand out. What makes me different from others is I only make videos with a unique aesthetic that aligns with mine so that other people with similar interests can enjoy them. I still have a small following but I know that if I keep sharing what I love more people will find me. I have learn to keep an open mind especially when I go to film restaurants and try new foods that I’m not accustomed to. I would like to share my experiences and joy with the world through my videos.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I always have somewhere new to take friends. I do however have some favorite spots that are my go to for someone new in town. We would start our day at Bishop Arts District. The spelled milk is a cereal bar around that area therefore we would go and choose our favorite cereals for breakfast. We would then go and explore all the small businesses in Bishop arts. Once lunch roles around we would drive to Sadelle’s and have a nice lunch and tea there. Afterwards go to the boujee stores in Highland park village. To end the night we would go to the Wonder bar to take the coolest pictures and get drinks. Some other places that I would like them to see during their visit are the eyeball,Dallas aquarium,Dallas museum of art,The monarch,the fountain show at Klyde Warren park and The Sweet tooth hotel.
