What is your job title?
Owner of Rhythm Creative
In addition to your job title, tell us a little bit about what you do/your company does.
Rhythm Creative is a one-stop shop for marketing assets and strategy. I believe that creativity and efficiency aren’t opponents but teammates in clear and memorable communication. Services I provide include photography, videography, branding, web design, and consulting.
What is your favorite part about your job?
In short, the variety. When I started Rhythm Creative in 2020, every article I read and podcast I listened to instructed me to do one thing — pick a lane. Determine what one thing you want to provide and one type of client you want to work with, and don’t deviate. But variety and freedom were two of the main hidden treasures I was looking for back in 2020, so I said screw it and just started doing whatever I could for whomever I could. Four years later, I’ve learned a lot, including that if you’re passionate enough and have a dream, it’s worth throwing logic to the wind.
What made you decide to join Forge?
Honestly, I was weary from working at our dining room table and desired some boundaries for my work. I found that and more at Forge.
What is your favorite thing about Forge?
That’s hard to narrow down, but my top three are the environment, the people, and the aroma from the automated air-fresheners that greet you right when you step off the elevator.
What is your favorite spot/place to work at Forge?
My desk overlooking the McWane Center!
What are your favorite tech tools to get your job done or keep your life organized?
1. Productivity – Otter.ai for meeting note taking and synthesizing
2. Videography – I’ve been using Frame.io for video reviews and approvals, and it’s been a game-changer
3. Gear – I have a DJI drone that I film with, and it’s honestly just super fun
Is there a product you cannot live without?
The notes app on my phone
What is the last show you binge-watched?
What is your ideal weekend in Birmingham?
Brunch at Zaza. See a matinee with friends East West for dinner. Finish the night off at Trim Tab or GhostTrain.
