WHO DOES WHAT

We both write, edit, and conduct interviews. Angela takes the lead on creative direction, branding, video and audio work, and event production. Brent is head editor, proofreader, and presenter-in-chief. (Brent works full time as a writer and editor at NC State University, so his freelance schedule fills the fastest.)

If we’re not a good fit for your project or if our dance card is full, we’ll refer you to other folks who do awesome work—artists, designers, writers, videographers, and filmmakers whose work we admire.
