Hello, my name is Dani and my favorite stories to hunt are the ones that hunted me first--as in, I keep a curious, open mind, and observe the world around me. When something, someone, or somewhere peaks my interest I try to find out as much as I can about it so that I can share that person or place or thing with the world through beautiful images and sound. I have a Masters degree in multi-platform journalism from the University of Maryland and have my B.A. in environmental studies from Dickinson College. After 7 years of life on the east coast, I returned to my home state of Colorado. I live Denver and love to cover the kind of stories that my neighbors here in Denver and across the front range know and care about. I'm a freelance videographer, producer, and editor for Zerosun Creative (www.zerosun.com) and I'm a photographer and social media editor for two local newspapers/ I enjoy producing work for both commercial and journalistic interests.

WHAT I DO: - I help small businesses clarify their message and grow with video marketing. HOW I DO IT: - The truth is..... as great as video is at capturing attention, creating connection and driving emotion.... its not magical. Without the proper script and digital strategy video will not get the desired results you are hoping for. I understand the digital marketing world and how to create stories and scripts that capture and keep attention. Simply stated, you don't need a video....You need results. More leads, more people walking in your door, more sales on your website. Results. We have all heard the adage a picture is worth a thousand words.... Well video is worth a thousand pictures, and video with the proper script and digital strategy is worth 1000 clients. WHY VIDEO WORKS: - Video is 4 times as likely to be watched as text is to be read and accounts for 74% of all online traffic. It allows potential customers to feel like they have visited your business and met you before. WHAT OTHERS SAY: - "It blew my mind working with Justin when he was able to literally diagram exactly what I needed to present to my clients to sell my product, to engage them, and to attract more customers."

I'm a Boulder, Colorado based photographer and videographer that specializes in adventure, conservation, commercial and underwater media. I originally pursued media as a means of documenting nature and the adventures I live for. Through my years of exploration and my time getting my Biology degree, I realized how vital of a tool media is for shedding light on conservation as well as inspiring others to pursue a passion of their own. It became apparent to me that I would be much more effective at bringing change through my camera lens rather than in a lab. Through my love of media, I've been fortunate enough to work in environments from the ocean depths, to the 8000m peaks of the Himalayas. I've been privileged enough to work with Canon, Eddie Bauer, Adidas, and alongside multiple National Geographic photographers. This career path has given me so much and I hope the content I create gives back twice as much My perspective is that existence on our planet is far more fascinating than anything found in a work of fiction.

I am proficient in graphic design and drafting software, including Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, SketchUp, and AutoCAD.
