Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Ellianna Doorn. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Ellianna, we are so deeply grateful to you for opening up about your journey with mental health in the hops that it can help someone who might be going through something similar. Can you talk to us about your mental health journey and how you overcame or persisted despite any issues? For readers, please note this is not medical advice, we are not doctors, you should always consult professionals for advice and that this is merely one person sharing their story and experience.
When I was diagnosed with alopecia, it was initially a significant challenge for me. My hair was my identity, it’s what made me, me. Losing my hair and having no control over it affected my self-esteem and confidence. However, this experience also became a turning point in my life. I realized that while I couldn’t control what was happening to my body, I could control how I responded to it.
Over time, I chose to embrace my condition and focus on what truly matters—my abilities, character, and the unique qualities that define who I am. I learned to be confident in myself, not despite alopecia, but because of the strength it gave me. This journey has taught me resilience, self-acceptance, and the importance of mental well-being. I now approach challenges with a mindset that focuses on what I can control and how I can grow from each experience.
These lessons have allowed me to persist through difficult times, both personally and professionally. I am more empathetic, understanding, and determined to succeed, knowing that my worth is not defined by external factors, but by the person I choose to be.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I’m excited to share more about my journey and what I’m focused on professionally. My love for photography has been a constant in my life—whether I’m behind the camera or in front of it, capturing moments that tell a story is what drives me. This passion naturally led me to start EndProduction, my content creation business.
What I find most exciting about EndProduction is the ability to blend artistry with impact. I don’t just create content for the sake of it; I aim to create visuals that resonate, inspire, and connect with people. Every project I take on is a chance to push boundaries, explore new ideas, and bring something unique to life.
EndProduction isn’t just about creating content—it’s about storytelling, connection, and making an impact in the digital world. I’m excited about the future and can’t wait to share what’s coming next with our audience!
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Reflecting on my journey when starting EndProduction, I’d say three qualities that have been especially impactful: adaptability, creativity, and authenticity.
Adaptability has been crucial, especially in the fast-paced world of content creation. Trends change rapidly, and being able to pivot and stay relevant is key. Early on, I learned the importance of being open to change and constantly seeking new ways to improve and innovate. My advice to those just starting out is to embrace change and view challenges as opportunities to grow. The digital landscape is always evolving, so staying flexible and willing to learn is essential.
Creativity is at the heart of what I do. Whether it’s coming up with fresh ideas for a shoot or finding new ways to tell a story, creativity drives everything at EndProduction. For anyone early in their journey, I’d suggest nurturing your creative side by exploring different mediums and experimenting with your work. Don’t be afraid to speak on what you believe would work in this social media world. Take risks and think outside the box—that’s where the magic happens.
Lastly, authenticity has been a guiding principle. In a world where content is constantly being produced and consumed, staying true to yourself and your vision sets you apart. Authenticity resonates with audiences and builds trust. My advice here is simple: be genuine in your work and stay true to who you are. Whether you’re creating for yourself or for a client, let your true voice and passion shine through. People connect with content that feels real.
In summary, being adaptable, fostering creativity, and staying authentic have been key to my success with EndProduction. For those just starting out, focus on these areas, and don’t be afraid to make your journey uniquely yours.
What is the number one obstacle or challenge you are currently facing and what are you doing to try to resolve or overcome this challenge?
The biggest challenge I’m currently facing with EndProduction is balancing growth while maintaining the personal touch that defines my brand. As I take on more projects, it can be tough to ensure that every piece of content receives the same level of care and attention that has always been my hallmark.
To overcome this, I’m focusing on improving my time management and streamlining my workflow. I’ve started using more effective project management tools to stay organized and ensure that I’m maximizing my productivity without sacrificing the quality of my work. This allows me to maintain the high standards I’ve set for myself, even as my workload increases.
It’s definitely a challenge to manage everything as a solo creator, but I’m confident that with the right strategies in place, I can continue to grow EndProduction while delivering the high-quality, authentic content that my brand is known for.
