hi there, I'm Josiah
I am passionate about translating ideas visually and capturing stories honestly.
a creator Since I Was 15
It started with a Nikon Coolpix, some nature shots, and a desire to tell stories. But then I thought I wanted to be a chemical engineer — classic high school mistake.
Once I got over that, I found graphic design. Graphic design turned into a digital arts major, which turned into freelance work, then marketing, and then an MBA.
And it's always been about making things good. Look good. Feel good. Sound good. For the greater good. That's what I'm here for — to do good.
No matter the medium, I gravitate toward solving problems with good communication, asserting creative strategy and passion to make something shine. All in all, I'm working with a mission: to leave the world a bit better off than it was when I got here.
what makes me work
From professional skills to deep values, this is what makes me work.
creative Strategy
Stories are multimedia these days. I'm versed in photo, video, and design to bring synergy to every project.
Consistent, fresh content
Trends come and go, so I try to stay well-inspired but classically grounded.
relational teamwork
Life's about people, and I think work should be, too. So I take opportunities to be, think, and create, together.
heart, mind, and soul
I'm purpose-driven, so passion is a huge part of my projects. When my work is doing good, I'm happy.
My past experience
Education and experience has always been both-and for me. I've found learning is done best when theory turns to practice, so I finished a BA and MBA amidst client and professional work. And now, I'm working with some of the brightest minds in manufacturing software.
