About Our Guest
Regina is a creative director, visual strategist, and founder of The Image Apothecary, ExclusiveBookStock.com, and Story Socials—industry-leading visual platforms serving the global publishing and creative markets.
Since launching her company in 2010, Regina has generated millions of dollars in visual-driven sales for authors and publishing brands worldwide. Her work has contributed to globally distributed titles, elevated independent authors into premium brand positioning, and shaped the modern aesthetic of high-concept book marketing.
Known for her cinematic, emotionally resonant style and strategic brand intelligence, Regina has directed and designed hundreds of cover campaigns and visual ecosystems that convert storytelling into measurable revenue.
Her art has appeared in galleries and on digital billboards in Times Square, and she has received industry recognition for both design excellence and commercial impact. Through ExclusiveBookStock.com and The Image Apothecary, she pioneered elevated, rights-managed imagery specifically tailored for the publishing industry—bridging the gap between fine art and scalable commercial licensing. With Story Socials, she expanded that ecosystem into cinematic motion assets, bringing film-level storytelling to author marketing.
Now entering her next chapter, Regina is expanding into education, creative leadership, and identity-driven brand strategy through Behind the Rise—an initiative focused on guiding creatives and visionary founders through reinvention, visibility, and strategic growth.
Her work is grounded in a simple philosophy:
Visuals are not decoration. They are leverage.
Regina is no longer just building images.
She is building leaders.
