FROM SPARK TO FINISH:
Case Studies of Creative Problem Solving
Step into my creative playground, where big ideas sometimes meet unexpected solutions. Each case study spills the secrets behind the scenes—from initial spark to final flourish—showing how I blend creativity, technical chops, and a dash of strategic magic. Whether it’s content creation, graphic design, web development, or photography, you’ll see how I turn everyday challenges into standout results that make life a little easier (and a lot more fun) for the folks I work with—while boosting the organization’s visibility and impact. Some of these stories even dive into personal projects where I brought my workplace skills home, turning everyday moments into creative adventures.
I created a compelling, AI-driven music video for the Professional Association of Georgia Educators using tools like ChatGPT for lyrics, Suno for music composition, and Adobe Character Animator for animation, all for under $50. By leveraging AI and strategic software use, I produced an emotionally resonant video that showcased the organization’s benefits with minimal resources.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I turned testing new video equipment at home into a satirical social media series featuring my two dogs as “co-workers” staging a comedic workplace revolution. This spontaneous project not only sharpened my video production skills but also led to practical techniques I later applied to professional work, demonstrating the power of creativity and storytelling in unexpected situations.
I crafted a satirical video project with a unique angle—capturing the world through a squirrel’s eyes (and a third-person view) using a Nikon DSLR, Canon camcorder, and GoPro. With a mix of footage, photos, and dramatic music, I turned everyday scenes into a quirky, polished piece that showcased my knack for creative storytelling and technical savvy.
When organist Brian Parks tackled the notoriously difficult Duruflé “Toccata” at First United Methodist Church of Marietta, we saw a chance to turn his musical mastery into a mini-masterpiece. Armed with a smartphone and a spark of inspiration, we whipped up a video and a playful poster featuring prints of Brian’s hands and feet—showing off his talent, quick thinking, and maybe just a little bit of magic.
