Hi, I’m Drysen.
I help brands make superfans
I’m Available
(and I accept bribes)
Hi, I'm Drysen—an entrepreneur who's been working in video, animation, and marketing since 2008.
Over the years, I've worked on TV shows, documentaries, and online marketing campaigns, picking up more than just a few tricks along the way. But my real superpower? Being a kickass resource who's easy to work with and determined to do a damn good job.
So, if you need someone to produce a video, keep your team organized, flush out your brand's online experience, or you need a small batch of physical products created, my design & techincal skills are here as a resource.
These are the things I do for money:
-
After Effects and I go way back, though I’ve been known to flirt with Cinema4D from time to time.
-
I know my way around a camera, lighting, and Adobe Premiere. With four TV shows under belt and hundreds of commercials - I’m no stranger to video production.
From script to final export, I can be a precision resource for your team or handle the entire project from scratch. -
Since the early days of my wedding & events company, focusing on how people feel has been the focus of my career.
From identifying your customer’s moments of frustration, to the content needed to build trust - I help design the content systems for a better brand experience. -
Making sure a project stays on track, having hard and ensuring an artist has everything they need to accomplish the job with minimal down time: That’s a superpower, and it’s one I’ve been honing since 2008.
-
I’m certified to commercially fly drones. Need a kick-ass shot, or a tower inspected? Let’s chat.
-
My mom once told me I have a face for radio. Luckily, I have a voice to match.
-
I’ve helped launch a few podcasts over my career. From consulting on how to get started, to filming/record, and editing - I’ve got the skills to help you succeed.
-
After a decade as a wedding DJ, I’ve honed some public speaking skills. I’ve since been the emcee for conferences, lead panel discussions, guest hosted/spoken on podcasts, lead workshops, and more.
-
I have a massive mobile digital billboard for rent. We call it The BigTV. Perfect for OOH advertising or tailgating parties.

You might think that with all my skills in video and marketing, woodworking would seem a bit random, right?
Believe it or not, digital computer skills goes a long way when making physical products.
Follow along as I team up with artist friends to create limited-release product drops, or create small batch gifts.
As it turns out, bringing digital designs into the real world wasn't as random as it sounds.

This isn’t luck—Our success together is the result of a proven process mixed with drive and determination to do the best job I can. Here’s the proof I’m not making this stuff up.

A solid 2D animator in After Effects with a dash of Cinema 4D magic and even some frame-by-frame flair when things need to stand out. From global campaigns to scrappy startups, I’ve done it all—and I’m here to help bring your ideas to life.
Videography

You’re welcome.
“That’s Freakin’ Cool.”
Hands down, that’s the most common phrase I hear when The BigTV rolls up.
With my background in events, design and video production, investing in this massive screen just made sense. Whether it’s for non-profit events, concerts, BBQ tailgates, sales events, or bringing a community together for movie night, it’s the ultimate way to help my clients’ videos get the attention they deserve.
And yeah, it’s pretty freakin’ cool.

Social Proof
My wife jokingly calls me her ‘Grumpy Old Man.' Thankfully, my clients seem to disagree.
My goal is to make your life easier by being organized, fun to work with, easy to talk to, and full of ideas. I believe every project should feel like your brand— so there’s nothing cookie-cutter here. Most importantly, I actively listen and collaborate.
But don’t just take my word for it—here’s what others have to say.
Drysen is the best. Full stop.
Working with him on my brand video was an exceptional experience from start to finish and he'll be my first call for future videos. Beyond his remarkable creative talents, Drysen stands out as a genuinely good human who brings warmth and professionalism to every interaction. He makes working together feel effortless and his communication style puts everyone at ease.
I initially met Drysen as a guest on his podcast, Drysen Learns Things, where his natural talent for chatting and intuition helps the conversation flow so organically. I am typically in the background setting up presentations and ghostwriting so this is not my natural comfort zone but I would do another podcast with Drysen, no questions asked.
Drysen is a creative powerhouse who combines both technical skills with authentic connections. If you're looking for someone who delivers exceptional creative work while making the process enjoyable, this is your guy.

I met Drysen in the foothills of Colorado where he was the emcee & host for a series of interviews at Camp Mograph. We met moments before hitting the stage but I immediately felt as if I’ve known him for long while. He is an exceptional interviewer, making you feel at ease, pushing for deep insights and able to keep the audience engaged with moments of laughter followed by a surprising moment of awe. It felt like I was talking to friend I’ve known since high school and the stories just flowed with a fun back and forth. He’s got that interviewer / story super power of being well prepared, asking insightful questions and able to pull compelling stories with ease. He did this with all the other interviews at the event too.

“Drysen surprises me with how good he is at so many things. He's a visionary to the core, but backs up his creative ideas with fast action and intention. He has a fierce drive to succeed, but always makes time to share knowledge with others. His ability to communicate clearly AND listen intently is inspiring. The moment you are able to experience speaking with him, you'll know what I'm talking about. I highly recommend working with him in any capacity.”
— Amanda Russell, Cream Studio
Drysen was fantastic to work with. Always had a positive attitude and was very collaborative throughout the entire project. He did beautiful work and was willing to make updates as needed. His positive, can-do attitude didn't waver when we had a major change order and he was recovering from feeling ill. I appreciated his work ethic, responsiveness, and attention to detail. I highly recommend working with Drysen on your next project.”
— Amanda Fulda, Fulda Studios
“Drysen is a great video editor & animator. We collaborated together on a long-form branded product video on a tight timeline. Drysen is super organized and an excellent communicator. He takes great direction and provides creative solutions. As a producer, he is exactly what I'm looking for when sourcing freelance motion designers!”
— Ilyssa Schwartz, Clutch Studios
Drysen is a great guy who knows how to make a guest feel welcome and deeply appreciated for their time and talents. As a producer he did an insane amount of research and asked very smart, granular questions. After the interview went live I got many notes from people who already know me, that said "Wow, I didn't realize XYZ about your journey." And, I had many new folks reach out, saying compelling my story was.
I love how curious Drysen is... It shows in his work and the content he puts out into the world.
A+ person!
— Erin Sarofsky, Sarofsky
“So far we have hired Drysen for two projects … and we couldn’t be happier with the results. In both projects, he listened to our needs and understood the problems we wanted to solve while providing high-quality feedback that helped us realize a better vision... His work gave our brand movement and personality and he is very fun to work with!”
