Hi, I’m Lara Roxana Popa. I’m a storyteller at heart — a writer, actress, filmmaker, and creative entrepreneur who loves turning ideas into emotional, meaningful experiences. Over the past decade, I’ve built a career at the intersection of film, storytelling, and brand-building. I’ve written and produced films that have been recognized internationally, including winning Best Film at the London Women Film Festival, and I’ve been fortunate to see my work travel across festivals around the world. I also co-founded TEYXO, a fashion brand that grew into a seven-figure business and reached customers in 100+ countries. That journey taught me how to blend creativity with strategy, and how to build a brand that feels human and authentic — not just profitable. I’m also a published instructor and creator, helping students and clients improve their on-camera presence, acting, storytelling, content creation, and ecommerce strategy — especially on Etsy and in the creator economy. What sets me apart is that I don’t just create beautiful stories — I create stories that perform. I’m equally obsessed with emotional impact and measurable results, whether that means festival recognition, audience growth, or real business outcomes. I bring creative vision and strategic thinking to every project, so the story lands and the goals are met. If you want someone who can bring heart, clarity, and confident creative leadership to your project — whether it’s a screenplay, a film, or a brand story — I’d love to collaborate.
