Who am I?
I’m PJ Williams, a multimedia jack of all trades, and a master of learning new ones. I would have called myself a renaissance man, but I don’t use paint. Instead, I use audio, video, photos and text to tell my stories. While each of these mediums can be used on their own to present a story, I use my creativity to combine them and create more well-rounded piece that resonates more deeply with people.
By being involved with the writing, filming, photographing, recording, editing and uploading of these raw materials, I can present a story exactly how I want to tell it. This adds layers of expediency and efficiency since I know which parts I need to build the final product. This being said, I enjoy collaboration and the chance to work on larger, even more impressive projects.
In addition to digital, I have a background in print production where I’ve used my photos and written content with my design to create similarly effective projects.
Please feel free to view the projects that I have worked on and if I can help you enhance your media production then please let me know.
Thanks,
PJ
