About me
Hi! I’m Zoë, a video creator who is passionate about purpose-driven content.
With over a decade of experience in video production, I've honed my skills in story development, production, and video editing, working with a diverse array of clients on projects ranging from 60-second social media reels to full-length documentaries.
I’m dedicated to creating videos that look great and have a tangible impact on audiences. Video has a unique power to cultivate understanding and inspire action, and I take that responsibility seriously. That’s why one of my core values as a video creator is collaboration— working closely with clients and teammates to ensure the final product is aligned with the project’s goals, and is rooted in authenticity and cultural awareness.
My background in Cultural Anthropology and Native American Studies has profoundly shaped my perspective, fostering a special interest in uplifting indigenous stories. From my contributions to UNICEF to my present focus on healthcare and the climate crisis, my overarching goal is to spotlight the efforts of individuals and communities striving to build a more just and habitable world for all.
Want to talk? I'm here to collaborate, create, and amplify.
I've created videos for:
