ART FIRST.

My approach to every project is art first. Along with close collaboration with my clients, I let creativity drive the process. It’s my view that audiences today crave unique and visually appealing content, whether in ads, campaigns or personal content. I strive to deliver these kind of products to all my clients. From promo videos to a wedding photo gallery, I provide a variety of services that center around the principle that when the art comes first, audiences and client satisfaction will follow.

ABOUT ME.

Born and raised in rural South Dakota, I moved to the Washington, DC area, where I currently live. I work full-time in the cable news industry at CNN as an Editor/Producer, and previously worked at the U.S. Department of State, where I created video content for U.S. embassies across the world and traveled with the Secretary on official visits. JDCS is my freelance business where I’ve worked with clients of all types, like Georgetown University, Microsoft, Disney, multiple political and inaugural committees, NGOs and civic organizations, weddings of all sizes and countless individual clients.

I earned degrees from the University of South Dakota (BA ‘14) and Georgetown University (MA ‘16), where I developed a passion for the intersection of media and politics. My hobbyhorse is discussing media literacy, so don’t get me started especially if I have a drink in hand.

I love art (obvs), politics, bourbon and running along the many miles of beautiful trails in our Nation’s Capital.
