END-TO-END VIDEO PRODUCTION

VIDEOGRAPHY | EDITING | AUDIO PRODUCTION | MOTION GRAPHIC DESIGN

Being generally fixated on some new project idea, I don’t often find myself looking into the past. This exercise has highlighted for me, a complicated trajectory which has led to the intertwining of my creative and work lives. The managing of employees to successfully complete large-scale projects in a warehouse setting also gave me the tools manage creatives and vendors throughout the vinyl pressing process. My lifelong obsession with audio and video editing became the communication platform for our unconventional record label model. When an adjacent opportunity presented itself, I acted quickly, using those years of experience to officially kickstart my career in video production.

2020 – 2024

YOUR WARRANTY TEAM View Website

I produced a large quantity of video work for Your Warranty Team and its affiliated companies in my role as Creative Producer. I covered a wide variety of styles including video product libraries, tutorials, B2B corporate, commercials, YouTube vlogs, event videography, educational videos and more. Working as a solo production department has provided me with years of invaluable hands-on experience in all aspects of video production. From conception and scriptwriting, to lighting, shooting on set and capturing audio, all the way through editing both video and audio, colour grading, animation and final output, I have done it all.

2020 – Now

EARLY ONSET RECORDS View Website

I cofounded Early Onset Records with some amazing like-minded folks who all thought it would be a great idea to volunteer our time and skills to help better the creative lives of our artists. EOR is a registered Non-Profit Society and my role as Vice President finds me responsible for managing creatives, managing vendors, budget planning, and marketing to name a few. I create most of our social content and graphic design, help with the social channels, maintain our website, and oversee the entire vinyl production process. Timelines are tight, involve a lot of moving pieces, and the slightest delay can throw off an entire release plan. It’s fun!

2013 – 2020

LYNDEN LOGISTICS View Website

As Operations Manager for a busy healthcare distribution centre I was responsible for the output and accuracy of up to 20 employees at a time. This included planning, overseeing, progress reporting and execution of major projects in addition to the regular daily workload. I was responsible for all aspects of hiring, onboarding, conflict resolution, warnings, and terminations. I streamlined a number of regular processes, wrote SOPs and developed several best practices which are still in use today.
