(Key-ah Joo-lee-ah)
I am a Wisconsin-based filmmaker, photographer, and graphic designer specializing in music videos, portrait work, short films, and commercial projects. Storytelling has been at the heart of my creative journey since I was 10, when I first picked up a camera. Over the years, I honed my craft, and eventually, my hobby turned into my passion and then into a profession. With five years of industry experience and a degree in video production, I am dedicated to capturing compelling visuals that resonate with audiences.
My approach to filmmaking and photography is deeply influenced by emotion, atmosphere, and storytelling. Whether I’m directing a music video, developing an emotional short film, or capturing the essence of a brand through commercial work, I strive to bring a unique and artistic perspective to every project. I love experimenting with lighting, composition, and color to create visuals that feel both striking and immersive.
Beyond my work, I am constantly seeking inspiration in the world around me. I regularly challenge myself to discover new short films online and attend film festivals whenever possible. I find a lot of creativity immersing myself in new storytelling techniques and learning from unique, eccentric voices. I also have a passion for thrifting and upcycling, finding beauty in forgotten things and giving them new life. When I’m not engaging in creative projects, you can usually find me surrounded by my ever-growing collection of plants. The consistency and care they require is the same care and attention to detail that I bring to my work.
