Museum Brochure, 2025

Community Volunteer Work

A modern but still heritage-inspired redesign for the Hillyard Heritage Museum. The goal was to capture the community’s railroad legacy while creating a clear, visitor-friendly piece that inspires connection and support.

Independent videos

Video projects created for local organizations and events that strengthen community connection and storytelling.

2021, Camp Stix Auction Video
A short film created for Camp Stix, a summer camp for kids with Type 1 diabetes. I filmed most of the footage and edited the entire piece to tell a story that resonated with donors and captured why camp means so much to the kids, families, and community.

2025, Hillyard Built Event Recap
The founder of Hillyard Built reached out after seeing my work with the Hillyard Creative District and asked me to create a video to capture and promote their annual Tricks or Treasures event. It now lives on their website as a recap and highlight for future years.

2025, United Building Highlight
A highlight video promoting The United Building as a shared community space for coworking, events, and local business collaboration.

People, storytelling

A mix of stories told through video — from weddings and local events to creative collaborations that celebrate real people and connection.

2024, Short-Form Storytelling
Jake and India are a fun, outgoing couple, and I wanted their wedding film to reflect that energy. I filmed and edited the piece to capture their laughter, joy, and genuine connection while highlighting the emotion and details that made their day unforgettable.

2025, Short-Form Storytelling
Full wedding films take time to produce, but couples often want something to share right away. This short sneak peek reel was created as a quick-turn highlight for social media, capturing the energy, emotion, and beauty of the day while the couple waited for their complete wedding film.

2025, Filming/Editing
A casual video project filmed for a friend in affiliate marketing to support a lifestyle brand partnership. I helped direct and film short clips to highlight the client experience and product features for social media use.

Creative experiments

These are some of my creative outlet projects, a mix of odd, funny, and sometimes surprisingly sentimental ideas that didn’t need a reason to exist. They’re just what happens when curiosity wins.

2018, Stop-motion short made with my child

2022, Short-form video with my child

2018, Animatic made just for fun

event & portrait photography

A mix of portraits, events, and personal projects that remind me why I love creating. Some are sentimental, some spontaneous, all captured out of curiosity and connection. See all photography projects at my gallery site.
