Ready? Let's Get Smarted.
Hey there! My name is Yasmeen and I'm a Harvard-educated Psychology nerd with Ad Agency experience and a passion for acting (the "quit your stable job and move to London to get a Masters in Theatre" kind of passion…)
Connecting my business savvy (smarts) and storytelling expertise (arts), I founded The Performing Smartist, on a mission to help entrepreneurs and executives gain superstar confidence while presenting themselves in-person and online.

I was always self-conscious, critical and nervous about being filmed. After just a few sessions with Yasmeen, the results were incredible! So grateful to her ability to coach me to success.

She made the process fun and taught me all the tricks to stay on top. Super knowledgable, she thinks through every detail and how the consumer thinks.
CEO, JT Interiors
She is a phenomenal human that I recommend to anyone thinking to invest in a more professional, accessible home for their business.

I find myself in awe of how seamlessly she takes any idea and turns it into reality - whether that's a social media campaign, or a web layout.
