About.
One word that most accurately defines me— Storyteller.
I love to use storytelling to inspire action, build meaningful connections, and inspire positive community impact.
I have cooked in commercial kitchens, patrolled urban cities, shot professionally for studios, worked technology sales across the Midwest, and I have collaborated creatively with several underground artists and creative souls. These broad experiences have granted me the gift of viewing the world through a unique perspective— And empowered me with the skills to communicate effectively through visual formats such as photography, cinematography, and strategic marketing.
With over 10 years of experience spanning digital marketing and creative content production, including significant hands-on social media management, portrait photography, music video production, and both for-profit and non-profit marketing, I provide a proven ability to develop compelling content and execute strategies that provoke critical thought, drive engagement, and build community—Solving challenges through creativity and collaboration.
I offer a variety of services independently including creative writing, media production, social media marketing, and commercial brand design.
Telling stories with heart and soul— And Lego.
What does an old video camera, Lego minifigures, and a kid with a lot of time on his hands have in common?
At age 12, I began making stop-motion animated videos with Lego, sharing them on my YouTube channel Steadman Studios. In 2013 I published my debut 30-minute film, "Black & White," a fun, animated adventure about friendship, rivalry, and overcoming adversity, which has reached nearly 15 million views to date. After producing several thought-provoking short films throughout my early years, what would become my final animated work, "Keeper," was published on the channel in 2015.
These were tales of growing up, stories of feeling lost, lonely, and stories of falling in love; tales of adventure, and making new friends along the way; stories of choosing to do what is right and carry on in spite of the challenges we might face– Stories told with heart and soul.
Communication is key.
Strong communication empowers us to express ideas effectively, build meaningful relationships, and cultivate a sense of community.
I believe strong communication, rooted in empathy and understanding, is vital for building meaningful relationships and communities. This conviction drives my work. Whether through photography, film, or strategic design, I focus on visual storytelling that resonates deeply, speaks to our shared humanity, and fosters genuine connection. It’s about more than just visuals or messages; it's about creating impact and bringing people together.
I use the power of storytelling to help you connect and achieve your goals.
Let's create something meaningful together.
“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”
