About

As a Creative Director at Dak, I craft and deploy innovative solutions for video marketing to better reflect brand identity, optimize in-house bandwidth, and improve output, quality, and turnaround. I leverage almost two decades of experience in writing, production, and editing to create engaging and effective videos that capture the attention and interest of consumers and vendors. For over a decade, I have also pursued my passion for positive world change as the Founder and CEO of No Silence Media, a media company that facilitates the acceleration of non-profits' efforts through high-quality video marketing, photography, and other promotional or event services. We provide services to non-profits at no cost so they can maximize the efficacy of their programs. My mission is to strengthen the quiet among us and to tell stories that amplify brand messaging and social impact.
