Her leadership blends structure with intuition, balancing clear strategy and strong visual language with the space needed for discovery. Years of working in multidisciplinary environments have honed her ability to collaborate seamlessly with artists, technicians, and producers, bringing ambitious ideas to life. Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, Google Workspace, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Lightroom, Capture One, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Meta Business Suite, Dotdigital, Slack, Airtable, Monday.com, WhenIWork, and other industry tools, she combines technical mastery with expertise in budgeting, scheduling, and creative team management.
Alongside her professional work, she maintains a studio art practice rooted in collage and assemblage. Working with found paper, dried flowers, book pages, and hand-cut forms, she constructs surreal landscapes where cities float, time unravels, and thoughts take on shape. Waves often stand for the mind, dried flowers for time held still, and mythical figures emerge as symbols of memory and transformation. Her compositions are informed by Taoism’s sense of flow, Confucius’ focus on harmony, and Aristotle’s belief in interconnected purpose, as well as Bachelard’s poetics of space, Bergson’s concept of intuitive time, and Walter Benjamin’s fascination with fragments and the unseen currents within them.
For Adalina, every artwork, edit, and written piece is a quiet act of philosophical assembly. Recently, she completed the Harvard online workshop Chinese Philosophy: The Path to Happiness, which deepened her engagement with the teachings of Confucius and Laozi. She views art, whether composed of paper, pixels, or presence, as a form of attention, a way of saying I was here, and I found beauty in the fragments.
Early in my career, I worked in Los Angeles as an assistant camera for Steadicam on music videos with Lyrical Lemonade and major record labels. Being on set for high-profile productions with artists at the center of the cultural conversation taught me how to adapt quickly, anticipate a director’s needs, and capture movement with precision. These experiences sharpened my technical understanding of cinematography and deepened my respect for the collaborative nature of large-scale film production. During this time, I also led my own production company, Something Like This, producing and directing projects. The studio, which closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, served primarily as a rental space for photo and film shoots. In addition to managing the space, I directed several short films.
Born in Paris and having lived in Florence, Los Angeles, and now New York City, she draws on each place’s influence to shape the worlds she creates both on the page and in the frame. Her artistic journey began in film, where she earned a Bachelor's degree in Editing and Special Effects at the Conservatoire Libre du Cinéma Français, studied animation at the Atelier de Sèvres in Paris, and completed a Master’s in Filmmaking and Producing at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles. Film taught her how to cut, arrange, and sculpt time, an instinct that continues to guide her across every medium.
