Hi, I'm Maryam.

Toronto creative.
Equal parts ideas and execution.

Everything that happens in between is my job.

Notion systems

Shoots run on organization. These are the Notion tools I built to keep casting and props in one place.

Prop checklists

Every prop for every shoot lives in one database, tagged with the client, the shoot date, who is bringing it and whether it has to go back.

  • Props are grouped by shoot, so the team can pack the night before.
  • A "Return required" flag makes sure borrowed items come home.
  • One prop booked for two shoots gets flagged right away.
  • An upcoming view only shows what's still ahead.

Casting database

I moved the casting list out of a spreadsheet and into Notion, so finding the right person for a role takes seconds instead of a scroll through hundreds of rows.

  • Dropdowns for everything. No more "25ish" or "mid-twenties" in the age column.
  • Reliability stars, so the people who show up on time get the first call.
  • Clashing shoot dates get flagged before shoot day.
  • A "Do not book" flag keeps the wrong people off set.
  • A photo gallery to scan faces.
  • One intake form, and every profile creates itself.
