Coca-Cola × Springbok talent
A standout recent experience was preparing Siya Kolisi and fellow Springbok players for camera on a Coca-Cola campaign. Meeting some of South Africa's most recognised sporting talent—and helping them look screen-ready on set—was a genuine honour and an unforgettable production day.
The project brought together the pace of commercial production, polished on-camera grooming and the calm attention to detail Amy brings to every set.
