After helping countless others come to market with their CPG brand I've finally come out with my own. It's taken a long time to find the right fit, something worth it that has big potential.My wife and I have been honing our gluten-free and vegan granola snack formula for nearly a decade at this point, and it's about time we introduced it to the world (starting with a handful of local Bend, OR retail locations).

I created Next Studios to provide an offering that I felt was lacking for a number of small businesses, independents and entrepreneurs: A way to easily, affordably and quickly create professional-level photo/video/audio content.Next Studios offers preset photo/video content packages with the goal of providing cost-effective solutions tailored to small-to-midsized companies that will allow them to enhance their image, improve their brand promotion, and punch above their weight class.We also offer our fully outfitted studio location to conveniently and affordably rent on an hourly, half and full day basis.For more info visit nextstudiosbend.com
