Since 2017, I have been helping organizations, brands, and individuals share their stories online. From mom-and-pop coffe shops, to non-profits and credit unions, I enable people to find their voice, show their work, and tell their story to audiences all over the world.
Our Government Explained
Our Government Explained is an award-winning short explainer video series created for the Partnership for Public Service. The series started as a three-minute long horizontal video series before evolving into two different vertical video series better optimized for social media.
In this video, we highlight some of the takeaways from the Partnership's new public perceptions report, The Steady Opposition, finding that a majority of the public oppose the administration’s changes to the government and believe cuts have made their lives and communities worse.
