Founded in 2012, located in Atlanta, GA, STUD+ MODEL PROJECT has spent over a decade championing authentic representation for masculine-presenting women, trans men, and nonbinary individuals in fashion, entertainment, and media. What began as founder Teresa's personal mission to address the glaring lack of visibility for LGBTQ+ talent has evolved into a global force reshaping industry standards.

Teresa's journey into this work wasn't just professional, it was deeply personal. Witnessing the struggles of underrepresented communities to find their place in traditional modeling and entertainment spaces, she recognized that change wouldn't come from waiting for others to act. It required building something entirely new. Her vision was clear: create a boutique agency that doesn't just represent talent, but transforms lives and challenges the status quo.

Today, STUD+ MODEL PROJECT stands as a beacon for authentic representation, connecting extraordinary talent with opportunities across the spectrum—from emerging brands to major corporations, independent films to mainstream television, grassroots nonprofits to international campaigns. Our global reach ensures that powerful stories and diverse voices find their platforms worldwide.

At our core, we believe that true excellence comes from embracing individuality, not conforming to outdated standards. We seek out the bold, the authentic, the real—individuals whose stories deserve to be told and whose light deserves to shine. Every face we represent, every campaign we support, every boundary we break contributes to a larger narrative of change.

We are family. We are advocates. We are change-makers. We don’t just book talent; we build careers, nurture dreams, and create lasting impact in an industry that craves authentic voices.

THIS IS STUD+ MODEL PROJECT.
