Since the early days of my first YouTube channel in 2006, I’ve been using my platform to lead with my heart and spread joy.

As a passionate multimedia creator based in the Colorado Springs area, I bring over 20 years of experience in video/audio production, creative photography, graphic design, motion graphics and community engagement. My expertise lies in bringing creative visions to life with a blend of technical skill and storytelling – always focusing on quality and innovation.

My creative work has caught the attention of renowned companies like Disney+, Hulu, and Sony Pictures Entertainment – where I have collaborated to produce high-impact, visually compelling content that amplifies brand messaging and engages viewers on a deeper level.

I thrive on learning and mastering new tools, techniques and trends in the ever-evolving multimedia landscape as a self-motivated and driven professional. My mission is to transform ideas into vibrant, impactful content that resonates with audiences and leaves a lasting impression.

and creating is my game

In my creative work, I have always prioritized quality over quantity. Building a foundation of trust, credibility and value with my audience is essential to me. I believe content with genuine value carries more impact than producing for the sake of quantity, as each part of my creative process is intentional and thoughtfully curated. My goal is to consistently exceed expectations and deliver high-caliber content that reflects my unwavering passion for creating.

In 2021, I launched my brand ‘bychanell,’ with the intention of serving multiple purposes. My craft is rich with layers, unbound by limitations: it’s about creating for the sheer joy of it, with every piece made with love by me.

When I create, I dive in heart-first. Most of the time, I wear many hats—scripting, curating shot lists, costuming, set designing, directing, filming, editing, and more. Each step of the creative process is my favorite, and it’s deeply fulfilling to watch an idea—whether big or small—evolve into something truly magical. I love every part of it.

dream outside the box

Recreating some of my favorite comfort movies and sharing them with my audience is special to me because they are simply movies that feel like a warm hug. I hope that kind of warmth translates through the content I produce, too.

My husband, Brian, is not only such a positive force in all aspects of my life, but his unwavering support continues to encourage me to bloom through what I create – some would say he's the Kronk to my Yzma!
