As a graphic design and digital media instructor at Norwich Technical High School, I bridge creativity and learning to life for my students. With over nine years of experience as a professional photographer and videographer, I have a wealth of knowledge and expertise to share, as well as a passion for both technology and art. I started and managed a successful photography business, Hayden Budd Photo + Video, where I led the production of high-quality and engaging visual content for a variety of clients and occasions. I have also provided tech support and innovative solutions for smart home systems, enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty. Through these roles, I developed and honed my project management and customer service skills, as well as my ability to work with diverse teams and stakeholders. My mission is to inspire and empower others to express their creativity and tell their stories through digital media.
