Clients from 2025
As the year wraps up, I find it kinda fun to remember the completed (and often still in process) media projects I’ve been able to work on (listed in order of the start of the year). As is usually the case, there is a wide variety of projects, budgets and time spent on various projects. Sometimes I do free projects to help some friends out (the wedding) or agree to potential future payouts knowing I’ll enjoy the process of growth and joy (the podcast). I often start projects that end up in limbo (like the Brilliance Labs projects this year). Many times I am presented with subpar media material and am asked to make it look acceptable. While it isn’t ideal, I understand the constraints organizations are often working with.
Faithful Friends & Transitional Youth
All Hands on Deck fundraising gala invitation I designed (using Canva)
This was the year when Faithful Friends, the child mentorship non-profit I have been working with for several years as 1) Communications Manager, 2) Interim Executive Director, 3) Director of Operations merged with the larger local faith-based youth-focused non profit Transitional Youth. I served for 6 months as Business Manager full-time overseeing the successful merger of the mentoring program into the overall umbrella of services that Transitional Youth provides in the Portland and Vancouver metro areas. My media and communication skills were underutilized during this season as I took on more urgent administrative roles. I resigned at the end of June.
Holy Redeemer Catholic School
This spring I came alongside Holy Redeemer, once again, to produce their annual banquet fundraising video. With the help of some loaned equipment, Holy Redeemer staff interviewed students in their K-8 program and I edited together a thematic video focusing on “Woodland Wilds”.

Language Hospitality Project
The Language Hospitality Project began as a collaborative initiative of Multnomah Biblical Seminary and the Multnomah University TESOL Department under the direction of Kristyn Kidney and Derek Chinn. This is a course intended for communities of faith to educate and encourage Christians to be hospitable to people from other cultures. I edited together a longer and shorter version of their introductory videos using various zoom recordings from those who have participated in or lead the program.
“Awkward Christian Questions” Podcast
Earlier this year I began dreaming with my friends Drew and Grace Dyck about producing a podcast with them focusing on a fun (but important) overlooked theme for Christians. Why not tackle some, er, awkward stuff for a change? With Drew’s presence already growing online through his appearance on Holy Post podcasts, and with several books in print, he’s got down the vibe for what makes a podcast episode both fun, entertaining and thoughtful. This husband and wife dynamic duo have been a joy to work with as we try to release new episodes regularly. Topics have included the following:
How can Christians discern between core & secondary doctrines?
Should Christians visit a mosque? (see below)
Society Church
A new church plant in Portland was having a grand opening and invited me to shoot some photos during their service and celebration lunch…
Trevor & Hannah’s Wedding
Some friends from church asked me to film a live stream of their wedding. Having some experience in that area from my own family weddings, we were able to make a way for friends and family based around the world to participate remotely. Afterwards I edited together a quick montage.
All Souls Anglican Church
For the last quarter of 2025 I provided fractional services in community engagement and communications/media for All Souls Anglican Church. Much of my time was spent on launching a new video series featuring the personal stories of those who attend All Souls looking at their backgrounds and how/why they ended up choosing Anglicanism & All Souls. (Several more stories are in production for release in 2026).

Brilliance Labs
During the final quarter of 2025 I began assisting Brilliance Labs, a Portland-based non-profit and granting organization, with follow up storytelling focusing on other local non profits who received grants within the past year. Several projects were started, but later put on pause for future completion.
As Is Church’s Hope Homes (video interviews on pause)
A men’s home for sober living.
South Asia - I assisted Brilliance Labs with a conference where ministry leaders were exploring the concept of Bitcoin being used as a significant way to transfer funds between countries, or be used locally to provide a circular economy based on development/ministry principles and outcomes. My main roles were documenting the trip by gathering interviews. This has the potential to turn into a documentary project along with footage from several other countries already recorded.
“Sick in Africa” documentary series
In 2015 I spent 10 months gathering stories in rural Mozambique. Each of the storylines followed various people who were facing health challenges. During December I re-edited episode 2 and released a draft that provides a more comprehensive story of how one desperate mother seeks medicine from any source she can find. Episodes 4 hopefully coming soon (2026). This is an ongoing passion project that I work on as time allows.
I’m grateful to have partnered with so many wonderful organizations and individuals in 2025 and look forward to more of the same in 2026, as well as answers as I seek reliable income.
