At the start of this year, I didn’t set out to make a big announcement. I just wanted to do good work, and keep moving forward one project at a time.
Somewhere along the way, something meaningful happened: my freelance work became fully self-sufficient. By the Grace of God I’m able to move forward, one step at a time.
This period of my life represents a season of trust, discipline, and showing up even when things felt uncertain. Freelance doesn’t usually flip like a switch. It grows quietly, through relationships, repeat clients, late nights, revisions, and learning how to solve problems without a safety net.
This year alone, I’ve had the opportunity to step into a wide range of roles, sometimes one at a time, sometimes all at once. I’ve worked as a Producer, helping shape ideas from early concept through delivery. I’ve served as a Director, collaborating with teams and stakeholders to make sure the story and intent stayed intact. I’ve spent long hours as an Editor, finding rhythm, clarity, and emotion in the cut.
I’ve also leaned heavily into what I love most: building things visually. As a Motion Designer, I’ve created graphics meant to inform, guide, and elevate experiences. And as a 3D Environment Developer, I’ve helped design immersive spaces that blend storytelling, technology, and practicality.
None of this happened in isolation. Every project has been a collaboration. Every win has come from trust! Clients trusting me with their ideas, their deadlines, and their audiences. I don’t take that lightly.
What I’ve learned most in this season is that good creative work isn’t about doing everything yourself! It’s about understanding the whole picture. Whether I’m leading a project or supporting one, my focus stays the same: listen carefully, communicate clearly, and build something that actually works in the real world.
I’m sharing this now because I’ve reached a place where I can say, honestly and gratefully, that freelance isn’t a side path for me, it’s the work. And with that comes openness to what’s next.
If you’re working on a project that needs thoughtful production, clear direction, strong editing, motion design, or 3D environments– or if you’re still figuring out what you need but know you want a steady creative partner– I’m open to conversations. Not pitches. Not pressure. Just conversations.
I’m proud of the work I’ve done, excited about what’s ahead, and deeply thankful for everyone who’s been part of the journey up to this point.
Here’s to continuing to build– carefully, collaboratively, and with intention.
