Our philosophy.

We believe there is an art to what we do; a craft requiring an experienced hand and a respect for the process. Regardless of whether we’re creating a complex series of corporate web videos, or a simple radio spot, today’s communication begs for roots in the fundamentals of true storytelling. We’re deeply committed to these fundamentals and how, when applied to modern day communication, they can significantly elevate a message and create an exceptional experience for the audience.

“I've worked with Steve for several years on various video projects and I highly recommend him! He can take one my half-baked ideas and turn it into a final product that's better than I could have ever imagined. He always delivers extremely high-quality content, and you can tell he's a true expert at his craft. Working with Steve makes these kinds of projects feel easy - even though they are definitely not as they take hours of hard work, experience, and skill. We are so lucky to have a talent like Steve in Grand Rapids.”
