Selected Work
You know your work matters.
Explaining it is the hard part.
You may know why your mission matters, but when it comes time to explain it to someone new, the words can feel scattered or overly complex. What feels obvious to you does not always land the same way for others.
Many mission-driven organizations end up saying too much, not because the work is unclear, but because it means a lot. Important details pile up. Context feels necessary. The story gets buried.
Stories help people understand faster than explanations.
Story-driven video works because it mirrors how people already process information. We pay attention to people. We remember moments. We connect through emotion before logic.
When the story is clear, the rest becomes easier. Your mission makes sense. Your message stays with people. And people know what to do next.
You do not have to be a storyteller to tell a good story.
My role is not to turn you into a spokesperson or hand you lines to memorize. It is to listen first. To understand your work, your values, and the way you naturally talk about what you do.
From there, I help shape the story. I ask thoughtful questions. I help slow things down. We focus on what matters most and let the rest fall away.

4. Story Refinement
The story is refined for clarity and flow. We remove what distracts, highlight what matters, and make sure the final piece feels grounded and complete.
5. Strategic Delivery
I help you think through where the video fits, how it can be used, and what you want people to understand or do after watching. The goal is clarity and intention, not just placement.
Whether you are speaking to donors, volunteers, or supporters, the video becomes a practical tool for connection and engagement, not just something that lives on your website.
3. Purposeful Production
Filming feels more like a guided conversation than a production. No scripts. No performance. Just space to speak honestly, with gentle direction when needed.
2. Shape the Story
I listen for patterns, language, and moments that matter. From that, I shape a clear narrative that stays true to how you actually speak and think about your work.
1. Clarity Conversation
This does not start with cameras or scripts. It starts with understanding.
We begin with a conversation to see if we are a good fit and to get clear on what you want people to understand after watching the video. From there, everything stays focused and intentional.
A thoughtful approach, shaped by experience
Over the years, my work has been recognized with multiple video production awards, including first place honors for documentary storytelling. That experience taught me how to listen closely, find what matters, and shape stories that feel honest and human.
Today, I bring that same care to mission-driven organizations who want to communicate their work clearly and thoughtfully, without turning it into a performance or a pitch.

You may not know exactly what the video should look like yet. You may still be sorting through ideas. That is okay. The first step is not deciding. It is understanding.
A short conversation can help us see whether this approach fits your needs and whether I am the right person to help. If it does not feel aligned, you will still leave with more clarity than you started with.
