UBACE 20th Anniversary Video.
I produced this video for UBACE (Upper Bucks Alliance for Creative Expression), a nonprofit organization based in Quakertown, PA. For over 20 years, UBACE has provided local youth—from grades 6 through 12—with a safe, supportive environment to explore music, collaborate with peers, and form bands. Many of its alumni have gone on to pursue music professionally, crediting UBACE as a foundational part of their journey.
The program has changed hands over time, and unfortunately, had limited video footage available—most of it dating from 2008 to 2017, with only a few more recent clips from 2024. Despite the challenges, my goal was to craft a compelling and emotionally resonant video that honors the legacy of UBACE and inspires alumni, current members, and future musicians to stay connected to the program and its mission.
Memory Lane Media
I created this promotional video for Memory Lane Media, a business based in Indiana, PA that specializes in digitizing and restoring old photos and home videos. Their services include converting formats like VHS, Super 8 film, photo negatives, and printed album photos into high-quality digital files. They also offer repair services for damaged media—such as torn or moldy film, poor audio quality, and VHS “snow”—as well as professional video editing to enhance and smooth out home footage.
The owner approached me to help market these services through a video that could clearly communicate the value and emotional importance of preserving family memories. I was responsible for both filming and editing to create a piece that feels both informative and heartfelt.
Meet the Navigators
While working as a student videographer in Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Marketing and Communications department, my team and I were tasked with promoting a new student support initiative—the Navigator Program. This program assigns each student a dedicated "navigator" to help them through key aspects of college life, including scheduling, billing, and academic advising.
To make the concept approachable and memorable for students, I developed a creative video campaign that blended humor with clarity. I took the lead on scripting, directing, and filming the video, intending to simplify the message while keeping it engaging. The final product was published on Instagram, where it received over 20,000 views and helped increase awareness of the Navigator Program across campus.
Got Ethics?
This photography project was created to highlight the ethical concerns surrounding dairy farming practices. Completed as the final assignment for the highest-level photography course at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, the project required both strong conceptual development and advanced technical execution.
I used professional studio lighting and equipment to produce a series of impactful images that visually explore animal welfare in the dairy industry. In post-production, I used Adobe Photoshop to enhance the emotional impact of the imagery—including creating realistic fake bruises in the final photo to emphasize the message. I then used Adobe Lightroom to finalize the color grading and edits, ensuring a polished and cohesive visual presentation across the series.
The project received an A for its creative direction, technical skill, and powerful narrative.
This project was created to showcase my studio lighting skills in a high-level lighting photography course. I designed a three-light setup that focused white light directly on the subject’s face, while strategically placing colored gels on the side lights to cast tri-colored shadows on the background. The effect created a visually striking and technically precise composition that emphasized both control and creativity with light.
The photo was captured using a DSLR camera in full manual mode, allowing me to fine-tune exposure, aperture, and focus for maximum impact. Each week in the course, we were tasked with developing a unique lighting concept—this image was my personal favorite and was recommended by my professor for photography contests.
This project also received an honorable mention in the Photo Review 2024 Contest.
After Effects Animation
After I graduated I wanted to teach myself how to animate in after effects as I see it as an opportunity to stay creative, elevate videos and stay competitive in the digital marketing field.
