I’m a Pacific Northwest storyteller and brand builder who translates land, craft, and complex processes into compelling multimedia narratives that connect expertise with audience.

SAMPLE 1 — Inside the infill development that is rebuilding Seattle

Explainer Video | 12 minutes

This reported explainer centers on an interview with a local architect, using her work as a case study to explore how infill housing is designed and built in Seattle. Through conversation and an on-site tour of a completed project, the piece examines what it’s like to design a house within zoning constraints, tight lots, and evolving housing needs. I reported and produced the video independently, conducting the interview and using the project itself to translate abstract ideas about density, design, and development into something tangible. The goal of the piece is to make infill housing more understandable by showing how professional decisions and constraints shape the homes people ultimately live in.

SAMPLE 2 — How to Build a Multigenerational Home in Seattle

Narrative Video | 10 minutes

This place-based story follows a homeowner who renovated her house so her in-laws could live independently in the basement while remaining part of the same household. Through a guided home tour and conversation, the piece examines what it takes to make multigenerational living work in practice, including design decisions, renovation tradeoffs, cost, privacy, and shared responsibility. I reported and produced the video independently, using on-site observation and interview-driven storytelling to show how family dynamics, housing constraints, and care needs intersect in one real home. The goal of the piece is to ground a broader housing conversation in lived experience, showing how multigenerational housing functions day to day rather than in theory.

SAMPLE 3 — Why I Live in Seattle

Reported Essay Video | 6 minutes

This first-person, reflective video explores what draws me to Seattle and to life in the Pacific Northwest, using personal observation as a way to think about place, weather, community, and daily rhythms. The piece blends poetic narration with real locations and everyday details, offering perspective and practical advice for people considering a move to the region. While the voice is subjective, the storytelling is grounded in lived experience and a clear sense of audience, reflecting my interest in work that is personal without being insular and reflective without losing touch with the realities of place.
