I’ve been filming interviews in my work for almost 16 years - with everyone from athletes on the field, an important political figure, or someone sharing a highly emotional story with the world for the first time.
And the most important thing I have learned is - ESTABLISH REAL CONNECTION.
I accomplish this in many ways: body language, demeanor, how I set up their microphone, etc - but I always tell them “I’ve got your back” and I prove that throughout the interview and the edit.
Try it - I’ve got your back.

Over the summer I was invited to attend a call for artists for @immersefest held by @creativecityproject and @memoiragency .
I found myself getting emotional just being in the room daydreaming with other artists, and when I started putting my ideas together they kept coming back to what the summer, and the last several years had felt like -
That Grief, and Traumatic Loss - have a gravity of their own.
And in an effort to give myself anything to cling to, I have found phrases that through repetition have become mantras - about how each of us is part of something so much bigger than ourselves, if we can just be present with it. (Shout out @holotropicfitness )
Call this the universe, call it god, call it a collective unconscious - the choice is yours.
So I have built three mailboxes to perfectly fit three ipads, where I have animated some of these mantras to bring them to life.
And I created background textures from the street where my installation will be shown.
It premieres this weekend at Immerse Fest 2/21-22

I’ve always loved bringing an idea to life. So creating a brand for @countrymile_runclub to gather a bunch of people in the hills of Boise, ID under - was no exception.
Couldn’t resist adding a little run cycle to the promo 🏃♂️
Thanks to @coopermarsh for trusting me with this one.

Artist @michaelishustle brings another thoughtful creation to the streets of @dwntwn_orlando during @immersefest . His work helps foster reflection and cultivate moments of meaning. We’re so grateful for him and his work! Thank you, Michael. IMMERSE is presented by @adventhealthcfl and supported by @ocfl and @visitorlando
I had the incredible opportunity to collab with @mattierogersoly and create the branding for her new @strength4strays event.
It was a two day weightlifting competition that raised money for @savingwithsoul and created space for adopting some furry friends that needed homes.
I was blown away to see how Mattie used every single design element to carry the look and feel across every surface, including the weights themselves.
Cool people ✅
Cool event ✅
Cool branding ✅

We could even hire “scientists” to say they’ll make you faster and stronger…

For this year’s @immersefest I have created an installation called “Last Words”.
My father was in a coma for a week before he passed - and on his last day - the medical staff suggested we try offering encouragements to him, honoring death as the next step of his journey.
Over the last 10 years, I’ve come to learn that this is a practice championed by Hospice Workers and Death Doulas and one that I will hold close for the rest of my life.
“Last Words” seeks to honor this practice through animations of encouragements and words spoken over a loved one as they were passing - compiled from the stories of friends, and first-hand accounts across the internet.
Presented in four custom built wardrobes with 65” TVs on loop, it will be on display in Downtown Orlando at Orange and Church Street on the evenings of 2.20 and 2.21 as part of Immerse Fest.
I hope to see you there.
So much more to come.
“These are my dad’s tools.” @michaelishustle takes us with him as he designs and builds his multi-media art piece exploring loss. Experience it this weekend only at @immersefest - presented by @adventhealthcfl . Hundreds of performances and interactive art experiences fill @dwntwn_orlando Friday thru Sunday.
Just wrapped up a Creator Brand Identity Package for the great and powerful @laurenkalil
We put together four bumpers for use across her YouTube channel and playlists, a series of unique backgrounds and split screens for interviews, and three custom Lower Thirds Packages.
This was such a fun collab process with Lauren and I can’t wait to see these pieces make their way into the wild.
Ok so - who’s next?

Today in being a grown up - I called my senators and learned something new. I’ll do both again, I’m sure of it.

I had the opportunity to redesign the labels for @gooddudescoffee and to create looks for The Patriot, The Frogman, and The Cowboy.
Packaging design is something I always wanted to try and I had a blast with this project.
These are all available right now on their online store through gooddudescoffee.com
Thanks again @coopermarsh and @bridgesj3
