I've been working professionally now for 4 years in Kalispell, Montana, and surrounding towns, but I started diving into digital art far sooner. Nothing satisfies me more than meeting new clients and turning an idea into a beautiful reality. There is nothing like the reaction of a client when receiving work that meets and exceeds their expectations. I specialize in video production & videography, but I have a burning passion for all types of art including photography, graphic design, drawing, painting, and other mediums. My journey has been a diverse one and has included work such as weddings, cinematic sports films, dynamic local business promotional videos, video production for non-profit organizations, music videos, real estate productions, logo design, concert poster designs for local artists, headshots, brand presentation videos, Social media marketer for Stumptown Heating & Cooling, Director of Photography 2 for the Netflix series "Cat People" Season 2 (not yet aired). My favorite spheres to work in have been sports because of the fast-paced environment, & thrill of the challenge and producing videos for non-profit agencies because it gives me a chance to send a positive message to the community. I am open to working in new atmospheres with dynamic and creative people and am constantly pushing to perfect my style and craft. Most of my experience is local, but I desire to travel, work, and learn from other artists in other areas. When I am not editing or creating I love to spend my time outdoors and capture images of wildlife and nature in my home state of Montana. Action sports and outdoor recreation have influenced my style and outlook on art, and as I get older I fall more in love with the cinematic and emotional impact of the visual arts. I am currently pursuing an associate's degree in graphic design while working full-time at building a successful local production company. I have big dreams and every experience is a valuable one so feel free to connect with me to share yours. I look forward to these new experiences and thank you for taking your valuable time to reach out!-Derek C. - Skysquatch Productions
