Christian Paro
Owner
The definition of work hard, play hard.
Christian makes his dreams reality. Literally. Ever wonder where the Center 615 Main facade design came from?
No one tops a Paro Halloween costume. No one.
Whitney Yeldell
Director of Operations
Creator and destroyer of to-do lists.
Beyonce influenced and tea powered.
Whitney loves to garden. Well, loves to plant gardens,
not so big on watering them…
Catch Whitney in her downtime kayaking or
hiking.
Brandon Benson
Building Operations
Not to be confused with Brendan Benson,
although he is known to play a little guitar.
Brandon fixes everything and makes it better than it was before. Bee probs on the Center 615 deck? Not anymore.
“I’ve killed 100s of bees.” – Brandon
Dog whisperer of sorts. Lover of music, bbq and sarcasm.
Johnathan Jones
Studio 615 Director of Operations
AKA Photo Jones. AKA keeper of the Studio 615 turf.

with T Swift.
Johnathan enjoys gin, hates artichokes and is
intrigued by Alan Rickman.
Autumn Hogin

He’s worked with companies such as Weebly,
Schneider Electric and Red Bull.

Taylar Griffy
Community Assistant
Think Hermione Granger meets Leslie Knope meets Jessica Day.
She’s clever, organized, and definitely cries at every cute animal video on the internet- that’s Taylar in a nutshell.
If she’s not out shooting film somewhere, she’s in the darkroom developing it.
Lindsay Lo
Studio 615 Event Coordinator
Mum of two sweet rugrats Casper and Romy, keen baker, wannabe florist, and event manager extraordinaire, British expat Lindsay brings a wealth of international experience with her to Studio 615.
Hosting a party is her happy place, so if you book a special event at the Studio know you’re in good hands.
Growing up in both England and Nashville, she may even give you a brush up on your Cockney rhyming slang- you better Adam and Eve it!
