Symone Ridgell brings sharp wit, a love of fashion and comedic flair to brand work for Corona, FILA, Glossier and Vogue, and music projects with artists such as Joey Bada$$, Noah Cyrus and Boys World.

Her ease with celebrity talent can be seen in light-hearted comedic spots featuring Zoe Saldana, multiple campaigns with NBA Champion Jayson Tatum, and cinematic portraits of icons like Erykah Badu, Sha’Carri Richardson, H.E.R. and Christian Aguilera.

Symone began at Paper Magazine where she developed her vibrant and fashion-forward style by producing, directing, and editing shorts with talents like Travis Scott, Janet Mock and Bella Hadid. A graduate of Parsons with a degree in photography, Symone credits her love of vibrant color palettes to her formal education and her knack for directing captivating characters to her informal, studious love of all things ‘90s.
