Ava Byrd is a phenomenal and professional leader, whom wears many hats. When it comes to her artistry and its knowledge, Ava’s personality, eagerness and hospitality shoot off the charts. Ava has a special skill of not making an compromising issue the cynical focus of a project – yet, facilitates through a variety of options towards progress for all participarting parties. I have worked with have on several phenomenal projects where she played the role of a leader – under her supervision I became amazed at her dedication to preparation and organization, alongside not being hesitant to urge people to push harder. All of my experiences with her are greatly appreciated, ergo I look forward to watching her foundation flourish beyond magnificent heights within the near future.

Ava has a remarkable ability to connect with individual especially young adults. I witnessed this during the pre-show activities for Fashion On-The Square as she interacted with my fashion design students. My students felt very at ease and that Ava had their best interests at heart during the modeling fitting and selection. She also put them at ease during the fashion show, as they were very nervous with their first public runway appearance. Ava’s organizational skills behind the Fashion On-The Square show so impressed my students and I; she accepted working back stage at the college’s fashion show later in the year. She once again was instrumental in keeping models moving in a timely and organized manner. I would gladly work with Ava again in any show production as she is a great contributor.

I have had the pleasure of working with Ava Byrd on multiple fashion shows. I was the exclusive backstage photographer while she was the creative backstage production manager. I have to say that Ava is the best backstage manager I have ever met. It is because of her that the shows went smoothly. They were very well organized, thorough, and the models never missed their cue, no matter how many times they had to change. Ava is strict to make sure that everything is in place, but she also takes the time to make sure that everyone knows what they are doing and that they are comfortable. She assures the designers and gives the models the confidence boost they need before they hit the runway. Her management makes it possible for me to photograph every model in almost every look without causing chaos. She knows what it takes to have a successful fashion show and she makes it happen every time. I respect her deeply and I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Ava is an outstanding manager. I hired Ava to manage and run dressers for multiple shows I was in charge of models and also modeling in. Ava ran her staff with ultimate precision and there was no one that did not step up especially Ava who had the backstage running like clockwork. She is professional and polite. She is a completely on top of all details manager. She is an asset you could not do without if you want a show to be done correctly. She is the ultimate professional. Do not know what I would have done without her there and her staff!

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Ava for several years. I have also had the benefit of being able to use her services for one of the most high profile wine/fashion events that took place in San Francisco. Ava was not only in charge of organizing the clothing of several designers, she also was responsible for recruiting all the models and the hair and make up team. Ava made sure to keep everything organized and communicated with each designer along the way. Without her, I would have not been able to have a fashion show. In the entertainment world, there are many high stress situations as well as competing personalities that one has work hard to mitigate and Ava sees things through with impeccable execution. I highly recommend Ava and am lucky to have had the chance to work with her on multiple levels.

I have worked with Ava a couple of times, she is very organized, responsible and dependable. Her work is impeccable. I love her and we will work together in more shows in the future.
