How is fractional different from hiring a freelancer?

Freelancers execute tasks. I embed with your team for 1 month to 5 years and more so you don't re-explain your business every project.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. I'm Chicago-based and remote-friendly worldwide. We can plan and review remotely, and shoot on-site in Chicago, travel by project, or hire local crews.

Do you work solo or with a crew?

Both. Solo for efficiency (interviews, headshots, operating rooms). Crew when scale is crucial (commercials, documentaries, multi-camera productions).

What do I actually receive each month?

A set of edited videos, brand photos, and repurposed variations (short clips, vertical versions, selects) delivered on a predictable cadence.

A discovery call, then a simple monthly plan, first shoot, and weekly delivery rhythm.
