ENDORSEMENT.png

Director, Producer, Showrunner

"Brandy is bursting with genuineness.

She is truly interested in other people and the world around her, which makes anyone in her presence instantly comfortable in their own skin.

It's a gift, and with it, she's able to draw out sensitive, powerful, warm, sometimes very funny, human stories.

I've seen it first hand, sometimes under intense pressure and often with people who are understandably wary of letting their guards down.

But in speaking to Brandy, you can tell they feel they're being heard -- and glad they've opened up."

From working with production companies and businesses

to creatively quarterbacking media campaigns that inspire

empathy, increase awareness, and promote solutions,
to working with private clients to document milestones, preserve legacies, or simply speak your truth –

I am ready to capture and craft your story in your authentic voice.

let's work together

appreciate you more than you know
