HAVEN & HAZARD
Specializing in full-spectrum immersive project documentation, Haven & Hazard offers photo/videography, graphic design, royalty-free original music, video editing and compositing services, providing clients with everything they need to bottle and share any moment, project, or concept.
Haven & Hazard is a pursuit of passion, pursuing passion. Serving every facet of photo/video/audio documentation across a variety of disciplines, I strive to capture a moment, mission, or concept as accurately and creatively as possible.
Whether you need an immersive long-form video with voiceovers and original music, or you're just looking for portraits or remote editing, Haven & Hazard has you covered.
For those with landscape-format videos wishing they had vertical, Reel/TikTok format versions of their work, I also offer "vertical conversions" animated to keep subjects in frame, breathing new life into otherwise archived projects.
ABOUT
I began following my audio/visual passions at an early age, spending most free moments pushing to become better at creative translation. For the past nine years, I've served as the graphic designer/photographer/videographer for Cold Weather Company, a New Jersey alt/folk band. While I've been designing the band's album art, merchandise, posters, and digital media over the years, I've been sure to weave and tow a narrative and graphic thread from formation to present, pairing lyrical concepts with visual representation.
In 2020, I began working with Mignolo Arts, an interdisciplinary dance company based in Metuchen, NJ. Together, we've filmed seven original dance pieces that have gained recognition at over a dozen festivals, with our piece, "mise en abyme" recently winning Best Experimental Film at the 2022 New Jersey Film Festival. I've also contributed over an hour of original music to multiple dance pieces.
Landscape Design
After graduating from Rutgers University in May of 2012, I focused largely on designing and installing residential and small commercial landscape projects for my family's company, Curry Landscaping, Inc. This provided me with invaluable experience in the full spectrum of the field--from client consultation, to design, installation and maintenance.
My ultimate goal in the field is to be involved in the interdisciplinary design and installation of habitat restoration projects that seek to restore site health and biodiversity, providing valuable outdoor spaces for education, and recreation.
