Work Highlights

Explore a curated selection of recent audio and video projects, podcasts, acting roles, and design work that showcase my versatility and storytelling flair.

An arrangement of essential digital production gear laid out in a precise flat lay on a dark concrete surface: a mirrorless camera with a rugged metal body, a pair of over-ear studio headphones with textured leather cushions, a portable audio recorder with crisp illuminated levels, a slim laptop with an open video editing interface frozen mid-frame, and a small tablet showing a graphic design project. Overhead photographic realism lighting creates high contrast, with a single softbox above casting dramatic, defined shadows and subtle reflections on metallic surfaces. The composition is carefully balanced, bold and graphic, with negative space on one side for potential text overlay, evoking a confident, professional digital creator’s toolkit.

Video production

Webseries Promos

Done for WFIU/WTIU. I took videos produced for youtube and edited them down to one-minute shorts for social media. This involved re-editing the video content to better fit phone resolutions, and cutting out a vast majority of the content while keeping the overall narrative of the video intact.

Music Video Project

A fan-made music video I created for one of my favorite songs at the time. I think it does a good job of capturing the “heart” of my editing.

Audio production

Podcast work

A couple of examples of podcasts I produced for Ancient Faith Radio. I was responsible for approximately 25 simultaneous podcast titles, each with multiple episodes and different release schedules.

For this podcast I take live recorded audio and edit it to try and get a smooth, more professional sound.  These are two 2-minute clips of the beginning of the 10/14/25 episode of Whole Counsel of God demonstrating the before and the after.  I also cut out frequent laughs, vocal tics (“right” and “uhhhh”), and audience questions.  For the audience questions, I was also supposed to decide if any segments of discussion would still be worth including and cut around them without making the end result sound jarring.

Audiobook work

Examples of audiobooks I produced for Ancient Faith Publishing – I produced approximately 10 books for the company. Most books were narrated by their authors, who had little to no audio recording experience. I would co-ordinate with these authors over email to get the best quality of recording possible, and then edit their audio files into a more professional sound.

Promotional Spots

A small collection of some of the promotional radio spots I’ve produced and voiced for Ancient Faith Radio to play on their streaming stations. Depending on the advertisement, I would: write the script, find audio from interviews to edit into the advertisements, narrate the script, and select effective and tonally appropriate backing music.

Performance

Hosted Webseries

An episode of “Just a Taste”, a webseries I was brought on to host for the Indiana University Food Project. In addition to performing my duties as host, I assisted in the scriptwriting and interview question-generating process

Shakespeare Performance

A video of my performance as Claudio for Chicago Street Theater’s Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing.

Graphic design

Home page for Role-playing game

A passion project “home page” I designed to display at-a-glance information for my group’s online fantasy roleplaying game. The graphic assets are not mine, but I found them from several different sources and edited elements such as color hue and saturation to give the page a more uniform design.
