HI I’M AUSTIN
I'm a Digital Media Storyteller
I’m thrilled to invite you to explore my work, skills and professional experience, and get to know a bit more about me. A born go-getter. I give 100% to every new project I take on. It’s my firm belief that a good challenge is a great way to develop and improve, which is why I make a point of seeking out challenges in the professional realm as well as in my personal life. Take a moment to look around, and contact me directly to learn more.
MY STORY
From as far back as I can remember I've always been a creative storyteller. Whether it was participating in theatre my whole life or directing video skits with my friends, communicating through art has been my passion.
I'm a lot more experienced than the child with his moms flip camera that I was. My passion has driven me to hone my skills in Photography, Videography, Editing, and Communication.
​
Through my work I'm confident you'll see a dedication to the craft I do as well as my original and inventive ways of portraying information or telling a story. After all, I'm a firm believer that nothing great happens on accident.

ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE
Learning and Living
MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS BACHELOR OF SCIENCE, FULL SAIL UNIVERSITY
October 2017 - September 2019
At Full Sail University I received my Bachelors of Science in Media and Communications. The program was an accelerated program, meaning that I was able to complete my degree in 20 months. In this program I learned all about varying types of media and their uses in our world. We learned about topics from Audio and Visual Production to Entrepreneurship and Marketing, all while placing an emphasis on our storytelling skills and abilities to convey and articulate subjects. We even had classes like Leadership and Organizational Behavior to help us learn how to integrate ourselves in the work setting and contribute our best work, and even an Intellectual Property and Copyright Law class. With this degree, I am equipped with the necessary skill set to pursue work in several media oriented fields.
PROFICIENCIES
My skills have been built up over years of professional work experience as well as research and simple observation. I have a great balance between industry-specific skills and soft skills, which means I have what it takes to do brilliant work and make a contribution to any team. If you’re interested in getting to know more about me, and the skills I possess, get in touch. I’d love to discuss with you all the tools, skills and more I can put to use for you.
