Explainer videos need an engaging voice over. Thayer Partners Investment Planning contacted me to re-do their voice over.

Dave and I have been enjoying Williamsburg, Virginia, where we moved to help our friends Glenn  & Sherri grow their business Silver Hand Meadery.

Here are a few images that we created to introduce the new mead "Ginger Me Slowly" - as well as some product images to get ready for Christmas social media posts!
