Freelance Videographer/Editor

Menifee, CA • February 2019 to Present

I've filmed several of my own videos, and edited for myself and others in the past. The two bigger ones are a wedding and a music video. I cut the wedding down from 3+ hours of footage to around 5 minutes in Final Cut Pro. I create my own graphics to use in the videos, and adjust the audio, colors, and more myself. For examples, see below: Each of these were shot by me as well. (And a friend, for the wedding video.)

Graphic Production Designer

Impact Canopies • September 2021 to July 2022

At Impact I prepared and designed layouts for several different products, including canopies, table covers, chairs, flags, fences, walls, and more in Adobe Illustrator. In Illustrator, I built many templates for staff and coworkers to improve the company's efficiency and accuracy. I worked closely with sales reps and the CEO to create over a hundred renders and revisions each week across dozens of jobs and products. At Impact, we worked with several bigger clients such as Nike, Yamaha, Molson, and more- in addition to many schools and small businesses across the country and also in Canada. While I mostly worked in preparing renderings for sales reps to give to their customers, I also helped the printing side of things. I would prep files in new templates in Illustrator, and then color match the artwork to appropriate Pantone colors that would most accurately print the client’s approved colors on several different types of fabric and material.

8Bit Brewing Company • February 2019 to March 2020

I worked as 8bit’s in-house graphic designer from early 2019, until COVID-19 hit in 2020. As their in-house designer, I made all of our signage, posters, tap handles, beer boards, menus, and more. My position did not exist prior to me working with management to create it, after I had started working there as a food-runner in 2018.I fully redesigned their food menu, beer menu, kids menu, and Taco Tuesday menu, over the course of a year, from when I started until when COVID hit, just a week or so after the release of the newly made menus. I also created consistent branding and labeling for their can designs, beer boards, and tap handles.
