DO NOT DISTURB

THE STUDIO

A one-person creative studio. I shape brands, produce story-first video and photo, and build the systems that keep it all running — the whole path from idea to shipped work, under one roof.

What the studio does

Shape the brand. Shoot the film. Build the system behind it.

An independent, one-person creative studio in Oregon: brand, marketing, and story-first film and photo — backed by real systems.

Story-first video & photo

Planning, shooting, edit structure, and delivery — films and stills where the thing on screen actually works. Proof, not promo.

Brand & marketing

Naming, identity, campaigns, and sales-ready content — creative direction that treats the brand as a system, not a mood board.

Real systems

Content pipelines, production ops, and the discipline that lets one person ship like a studio — AI-assisted, human-signed.

The work

A release ledger, not a trophy wall.

Every studio release, honestly staged. No invented case studies, no borrowed logos — the ledger fills as work ships.

Shipped

A shared-memory operating environment for AI coding agents — the git repo is the memory. The studio's first public release, unveiled with a proof video: clone it cold, run the scripts, watch the gates fire.

Deep Dive — KnowleDJ

video

A long-form sit-down interview with touring DJ KnowleDJ, produced for the channel. Shot, directed and cut in-house.

Pool party series — Miami

video

Recap of the Saturday and Sunday pool party series I ran in Miami in 2019. Produced under MIA Marketing Team, the event company I founded: a sales team booking daily, online marketing, and full production in-house. Pool parties every weekend, nightclub partnerships five to six nights a week, and party buses running tourists out to the venues. The company closed in 2020.

Grad party car meet

10 frames + video

Classic iron on the grass — a private grad-party meet shot end to end, from the cars to the day around them.

Food and menu

10 frames

Restaurant and menu photography — plated dishes lit for the page and the board.

Unbranded x — regulated products brand

10 frames

A regulated-products brand I launched in Oregon. I designed the labels and packaging, took it through the state regulatory approval process, and set up manufacturing and distribution. The product photography is mine as well.

The channel. Where the proof airs.

The studio's videos air on YouTube: intentional content, production systems, technical clarity, human taste. The first video is live.

Work with the studio

The same system, pointed at your brand.

Everything the studio ships for itself — planning, production, edit, packaging, publishing — is available as client work. Two ways in.

Video package

A scoped production for your brand: concept, shoot, edit, and delivery-ready assets with publishing support. One project, start to shipped.

Monthly retainer

Ongoing creative operations: a content system, a production rhythm, and a steady stream of finished assets — without hiring a department.
