This may come as a shock to most people visiting this page, but I've known it for a while: I'm not a videographer.
Videography was something I learned in order to adapt and survive as I got my foot in the door of this industry (whatever industry that is). Honestly, it's a skill I picked up so that I could walk in the places God called me even if it wasn't the capacity I wanted to be serving in. But now, it feels like compromise, and I've unnecessarily proven myself as a creative enough.
The problem is that once you enter a space with a certain set of talents, it's hard to be seen for anything else. "Videography" continuously ending up on my job responsibilities even when it was no where close to the position I applied for has shown me that. There's a reason why I applied for a position without videography as a part of it. While I'm grateful for the skillset I have in it, years of being exploited for this skill has lead me to burnout and I need to recover.
My hope is that as I spend time away from being a videographer and creating long-form video content (such as featured at the bottom), that the passion I once had will come back. Again, I'm thankful for the skillset I have. I'm so grateful for the opportunities it's given me and the creative outlet it has been for me, and I still want it to be those things. In order for that to happen, I need to take a break.
So, for the time being, I'm not a videographer.
However, if you're looking for a motion graphics designer or someone to manage your social media and create short form content - look no further! That's what this page is here for!

Spontaneous.mp4 - UN1TY Worship
Maybe one of my favorite videos ever, but not for the design aspect (lol).
This was one of the first "motion graphics" videos I ever created. The idea came to me as I stood in attendance at a worship night in a coffee shop. What I didn't know then was that creating it and posting it would lead me to my sweetest friendships, most treasured community, and set me on a path of spiritual formation I never thought I'd travel. For that, this video will always be special.
