Honest Wrenches

Two auto-repair shops in Ankeny and West Des Moines. One full day of filming every two months, cut into a month of reels: employee spotlights, shop tours, and the kind of behind-the-counter honesty that makes a repair shop feel like a neighbor.

Mary's Helping Hands

A West Des Moines nonprofit that supplies expecting parents and foster families with clothing, diapers, and essentials, no questions asked. Around 500 families a month, powered by volunteers. The films are built to do what their fundraisers need: show the work and the people behind it.

Newsrooms

Alongside the marketing work, I shot for local television news in Des Moines. Deadlines measured in minutes, one camera, no second take. It's where the instinct for what actually makes people watch comes from.
